Love, Learn, Live as One Community, Love, Respect, Trust Welcome to Bisley Blue Coat CofE Primary School As Interim Executive Headteacher, it is my absolute privilege to welcome you to Bisley Blue Coat Church of England Primary School , a truly special place nestled within the beautiful Stroud district of the Cotswolds.
This year marks an exciting new chapter for our school community as our Federated Governing Body, together with Oakridge Parochial School, begins a collaboration with the Heartwood Federation. Heartwood's vision placing children firmly at the heart of all we do aligns closely with our own Christian vision of Love, Learn, Live as One .
Rooted in love, respect and a commitment to lifelong learning, Heartwood believes schools should sit at the centre of their local communities, with decisions made by those who know, value and care for children best.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
