Parkside Primary School

Waltham Forest

Parkside Primary School is a school first, and that shapes what happens here. Most of the programming is aimed at families. Expect stay and play style sessions, where parents, carers and small children spend time in a room set up for them, and the grown-ups get to talk while the little ones explore. It is a hidden venue, so you won't stumble across it. You tend to find it because someone told you, or because you went looking. That usually means a local crowd, people from the surrounding area who want something close to home. The feel is practical rather than polished. These are school rooms, so expect a relaxed pace and a bit of noise.
