Presently we have just over 480 amazing children attending our school! At Shirehampton we pride ourselves on our open door policy; fantastic and hardworking staff and governors plus extremely supportive parents.

Everyone involved with Shirehampton Primary is focussed upon high standards and there is a special team spirit committed to developing the whole child by ensuring learning is fun, children feel safe, self-esteem is high and everyone is happy. We strongly believe in having appropriate challenge for pupils within the core subjects, and pupils are set in Mathematics from Year 1.
