In this week’s Friday Message, make a note of some upcoming dates for your diary, read about our recent Ofsted inspection which recognised us as Outstanding, and a thoroughly inclusive, highly ambitious school, with staff expertise and a deep understanding of how children learn. Also, learn about the EasyPeasy mobile app, and we’re looking for parents and carers to support some of our activities.

Our Friday Message – 6th September 2024

Welcome to the new school year at St Pauls Nursery School! We’re excited to see new and returning families. Our first Friday Message of the new year includes essential dates and information about our transition approach and how we help your child feel a sense of safety, belonging, and connectedness. The Central Bristol Children’s Centre has a new timetable offering support and advice for parents. We’re also looking for volunteers to support learning and play activities.

Our Friday Message – 19th July 2024

This week at St Pauls Nursery School, we’re embracing the joy of summer with our Children’s Centre offering Family Fun sessions featuring playtime, singing, and a boogie disco. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of our summer picnics, celebrating our vibrant community with shared food, song, dance, and music. A special thank you to all who supported our recent Ofsted inspection, showcasing our commitment to each child’s unique learning journey. As we bid farewell to children transitioning to Primary School, we celebrate their achievements and wish them well on their next big adventure.

Ofsted - Outstanding!

We have achieved Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ in both our Nursery School and Children’s Centre and are now a partner in BEYTC (Bristol Early Years Teaching Consortium) and ‘Centre of Excellence for Under 3s’.

Children thrive in the setting as a result of the stimulating curriculum and the support and challenge which adults provide. They are exceptionally well prepared to move to the next stage of their education.

Ofsted Report 2019

Leaders make sure that children learn in a highly supportive and caring environment. The nurturing relationships between adults and children and the organisation of daily routines help children to develop positive habits and attitudes to learning.
