Each child is provided with opportunities, responsibilities and experiences to prepare them for adult life.

"All children make good progress because of the good teaching and assessment supported by a good curriculum. Pupils' spiritual, moral and cultural development is outstanding" - Ofsted 2012

"There is a warm, friendly atomosphere which is reflected in the bright, colourful and well-organised building" - Ofsted 2012

Gracefield School is located approximately 3 miles from Bristol's city centre in Fishponds, near Downend. It is a beautiful large 3 - storey Victorian House with a playground at the rear. The house retains many of its original parts, such as the hall flooring and the stained glass windows, but has many up-to-date, modern features including a large computer suite with internet, wi-fi and interactive whiteboards in all classrooms.

Our aim is that all our children should be happy and successful during their time with us. We strive to provide a secure and caring environment in which each individual child can fulfill his or her own potential, whilst maintaining consideration for others at all times. We aim to prepare each child for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.

It is our school community spirit which sets us apart from other schools. Our teaching staff are highly qualified, dedicated professionals who offer each child a broad, balanced education which does not neglect their physical, emotional, moral or social needs.

Education today must respond to the changing nature of society in a flexible way, while still maintaining a firm grasp of the traditional values. We believe that at Gracefield Preparatory School we have achieved this delicate balance.
