I want to extend a warm welcome to you from everyone at Hotwells Primary School. Hotwells Primary School has a unique character and charm and everyone who comes here comments on the family feel within the school. A parent once said that, Hotwells has a village school feel but is in the centre of a city.
Developing a strong community and sense of belonging is hugely important to us here at Hotwells and a real strength of the school. Hotwells is a school where everyone knows everyone, where the children are well cared for and their individual needs are met.
Ofsted's opening line in their recent report was, At Hotwells Primary School everyone enjoys being a part of the school community. The inclusive, nurturing ethos means that pupils feel safe and well looked after. They enjoy coming to school and take pride in their work.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
