Welcome

A message from the Headteacher

Hotwells Primary School has a unique character and charm and everyone who comes here comments on the family feel within the school. A parent once said that, “Hotwells has a village school feel but is in the centre of a city.” Developing a strong community and sense of belonging is hugely important to us here at Hotwells and a real strength of the school. Hotwells is a school where everyone knows everyone, where the children are well cared for and their individual needs are met. Ofsted’s opening line in their recent report was, “At Hotwells Primary School everyone enjoys being a part of the school community. The inclusive, nurturing ethos means that pupils feel safe and well looked after. They enjoy coming to school and take pride in their work.”

Nurturing a love of learning and a culture of high expectations is of paramount importance. We want to create creative and ambitious individuals who thrive on challenge, engage readily with their learning and who are committed to doing their best. We are constantly looking for ways to enhance our curriculum through trips and visits and we love to use our local environment and the fantastic resource of the harbour at every opportunity.

If your child will be joining us for the first time, we welcome you as parents, we thank you for entrusting your child to us, and we look forward to a happy and successful partnership over the coming years.

Our Vision and Goals

Nestled in a historic corner of Bristol, Hotwells is a vibrant and creative, community-focused primary school with its own Nursery. We are small in size but bursting at the seams with creativity, warmth and a curiosity to learn! We pride ourselves on our ambitious curriculum, our strengths in the Arts and our wonderful local and global community of children and families.

Our school's overarching aims of "We are Ambitious; We are Creative; We are Local Citizens; We are Global Citizens" sums up everything we aspire to be. We promote high achievement and a love of learning so that each child can flourish in this ethos of support, challenge and encouragement to succeed. Our aim is that all children at Hotwells will enjoy the richness of their learning and that their primary school experience will be a happy and memorable one.

As well as achieving academically, our children learn to express and develop their creativity and to develop as spiritual and social beings. In this way, children learn to be responsible citizens who can contribute positively to the world in which they live as well as having the skills they need to access the opportunities the world has to offer them.

We focus on our school values in assemblies each week as well as building them into our classroom culture and embedding them in the ethos of our school. We also learn about and explore the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance for all faiths and beliefs.
