Hillcrest is a popular school at the heart of our community in Totterdown - a supportive and inspiring environment where each pupil is valued for who they are.

The children are at the heart of everything we do - nurtured, academically engaged and inspired to achieve their full potential.

Our five values...

Partnership  -  Resilience  -  Innovation  -  Diversity  -  Excellence

and our school's vision...

Taking PRIDE in all we do

are central to our ethos and our curriculum and help the children to grow into compassionate, well-rounded individuals, confident in their abilities, with a love of learning and a zest for life.

Both children and staff feel valued and cared for here.

Our students benefit from excellent teaching, a rich curriculum and a strong sense of partnership between school and family.

Bridget Norman, Head Teacher

Hillcrest is a happy school, at the heart of its community, where both children and staff feel valued and nurtured. Our children benefit from excellent teaching, a rich curriculum and a strong sense of partnership between school and family.

Our school is a fun place to be and there is always something happening to enhance an already exciting curriculum. 

Our Five Values - P R I D E

There are five values that are used throughout the school and promoted and demonstrated by every member of the Hillcrest Community. Each value can be expressed as a skill to practise and a virtue to embody.

They provide a template for the high expectations we have for behaviour and attitudes towards learning, as well as a common language to use when talking to children about all aspects of life at Hillcrest.

We believe that embedding these five values not only enables children to become independent learners but also prepares them to succeed in life in modern Britain.

RESILIENCE - Perseverance & Positivity
