Bishop Henderson Primary School currently welcomes children from 3 to 11 years old. Our unique school sits on top of the Mendip Hills in the village of Coleford. We currently have five classes and one nursery and are well catered for with extensive and varied outside areas.

At Bishop Henderson Primary School and Nursery we value each child and celebrate their individuality. We encourage a love of learning through our enquiry based curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities. As active learners, they reach their full potential and achieve success in both academic development and emotional intelligence.

We also aim to develop independence in our children to allow them to become free thinkers and question the world around them. The school is fortunate to benefit from being positioned in some of the most beautiful grounds which lend themselves to outdoor play and learning.

At Bishop Henderson Church of England Primary School we believe that every child should be given the chance to flourish, ensuring that they get the best start in life, which enables them to choose a path of their choice.

Our school combines a high standard of learning with a meaningful attitude towards wellbeing that ensures that our children are well-rounded individuals, able to connect with an ever-changing world.

The schools Christian Values of Courage, Compassion and Creativity are deep-rooted in our day-to-day practise and there is a clear emphasis for children developing their own spirituality based on their own beliefs.

We are proud of our school motto of:

With courage, we flourish

With compassion, we love

With creativity, we learn
