Community Involvement
Southwick Community Primary School has, and will always make a big effort to ensure all children understand how important our community is. We believe that our children should actively be involved in all aspects of community life.
Over many years we have developed our own Civil Pride partnerships with our local councillors and officers.
Our children take part in a number of annual events that link and make sense of what it is to be a citizen today in Britain and to take part in what is happening in our local community.
