Each morning, Nova pupils run into school with boundless enthusiasm and a commitment to the highest standards of learning behaviour. They are kind and helpful citizens with a strong sense of morality and social awareness, with almost all of our oldest pupils undertaking prefect roles around the school. The progress they make in their learning is impressive and I am proud of the consistently high quality of presentation and content in their books and on display.

The Nova ‘LEARN’ curriculum has been developed to ignite pupil’s curiosity and prepare them academically and personally for life- seeing them in their lessons is a joy and their high levels of motivation and interest are an inspiration to us all. Our talented and knowledgeable team of teaching and support staff put Nova’s pupils at the heart of everything they do, and as well ensuring learning is experiential, engaging and effective, they do everything in their power to keep them safe and happy.

Our school is also spacious, well-resourced with incredible outside facilities. We have a beautiful library and have invested heavily in high quality reading material for all ages, which reflects our commitment to developing our pupils outstanding oracy and literacy skills, as well as their general knowledge and love of books. My team are as excited as the children by the possibilities books present and this creates a real buzz about reading, around the school.

We are proud to be a member of the Amplify Education a Bristol-based Multi Academy Trust serving approximately 12,000 pupils across 21 schools and covering diverse communities and geographies.

At Nova Primary we are working with the stars of tomorrow, today.
