Exciting opportunity! We have 2 spaces in Year 1 and 6 spaces in Year 3! I am delighted to extend a very warm welcome to you and your child to Berry Hill Primary School on behalf of the children, staff, parents, and Governors. Since joining in January 2023, I have taken great pride in serving as the Headteacher of our wonderful school.
At Berry Hill, we are dedicated to providing the best opportunities and outcomes for every child. We recognise and celebrate the unique qualities of each individual child and strive to help them achieve their full academic potential while ensuring their health and happiness are nurtured.
Situated in the heart of Berry Hill, Coleford, our single-form village primary school is an integral part of the community. Collaboration with parents, carers, and the wider community is highly valued as we work together to support our childrens development and growth.
Our school boasts an impressive range of facilities, including a vast field with a dedicated forest schools area, a library, a computer room and Buddies (our before and after-school club). These resources provide enriching experiences and support our holistic approach to education.
