Dear Parents, Carers and Visitors,
Welcome to Abbotswood Primary School’s website — I am delighted to introduce you to our vibrant and welcoming school community, here in the heart of Yate, Bristol.
At Abbotswood, we are proud of our inclusive and nurturing environment, where every child is valued as an individual and supported to reach their full potential. Our passionate team of staff is committed to providing high-quality education that not only focuses on academic achievement but also fosters creativity, curiosity, and confidence in every learner.
We aim to provide a rich and varied curriculum so that pupils of all abilities are helped to achieve in a safe, friendly, and purposeful environment. Each child will be given every opportunity to learn to the best of their ability and, through our school values, learn to respect others and treat everyone in our school community with care, courtesy, kindness, and tolerance.
Here at Abbotswood, we realise that children do best at school when the partnership between home, school, and the local community is strong. You, as parents, are the prime educators for your children, and strong, positive links between home and school make such a difference to the progress children make. Education is most powerful when it’s a shared journey — and we are committed to walking that journey alongside you.
I look forward to meeting you and your child and welcoming you to Abbotswood Primary School. I hope this will be the start of a close partnership which will ensure that you and your child have many happy years here with us.
Whether you are a prospective parent, a current member of our school family, or simply interested in finding out more about us, I hope this website gives you a sense of what makes Abbotswood Primary such a special place to learn and grow.
If you would like to see the school in action, please don’t hesitate to contact us — we would be delighted to welcome you in person.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Robert Cockle and Mrs Sarah Willoughby
Executive Headteacher and Head of School
