The magic’s here. Can you feel it?
We're really proud of our fantastic school and the wonderful community it serves. The Henbury Court family is unique; once you join our school, whether you are a child or a member of staff, you become part of a wide support network that acts just like a real family, supporting you in all aspects of school life.
In our community, we are the school of choice due to our inclusive, caring approach to education – judged to have a ‘good’ behaviour, PD and Early Years offer by OFSTED in October 2025.
Diversity and inclusion are the foundation of everything we do here at Henbury Court. Our values are based around teamwork, confidence, playfulness and responsibility. Our children can tell you all about how they fit into daily school life.
