I am privileged to be the headteacher of Cotham Gardens Primary School and I extend a warm welcome to you from all the staff. I am proud to be part of our welcoming, creative and inclusive community, where children are firmly at the heart of everything we do.

We aim to provide a first-class education across the core and foundation subjects, including a wide range of curriculum opportunities to ensure all children achieve their best. As a school we are building the foundations of the skills, knowledge, and attributes to enable our children to become lifelong learners.

Our goal is for every child to reach their full potential – academically, socially, emotionally, creatively and physically!

Our website will give you a flavour of Cotham Garden Primary School, but the best thing is to come and see our school in action for yourself. We look forward to meeting you!

Our academy is in the Redland/Cotham area of Bristol.

Our aim is to encourage and inspire all children in our care to be the best they can be. Our collaborative approach to their education encourages them to be responsible, resilient, confident, compassionate, open-minded, and happy citizens of the world.

Governors and staff want the children at Cotham Gardens Primary School to enjoy their school journey, discover their individual strengths and motivations, respect and celebrate each other’s individuality, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

As a single academy trust all stakeholders of the school can have a say on strategic decisions via community forum. The guiding principles for the whole school community stem from our six values and four basic golden rules: show respect, be responsible, be kind, try your best.
