Navigation Type a keyword Search Parent Pay Term Dates Welcome to Primrose Hill C of E Primary Academy I would like to extend a warm welcome to Primrose Hill C of E. The Academy is a member of the Diocese of Gloucestershire Academies Trust (DGAT) and therefore has a caring and supporting Christian ethos at its core.
At the heart of all we do at Primrose Hill is our children, we invest a lot of energy and time into making their education the best we can. We aim to provide children with the knowledge, skills and attitudes that they can use for the rest of their lives. We involve the children in their learning journey and create active, independent, resilient learners.
It is our ambition for all of our children to be full of ideas and love using their imagination and resourcefulness to help them with their learning. We want them to believe they can achieve the highest goals and anything is possible.
