Dear parents, carers and friends of Colston’s Primary School,

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the children, their parents and carers, families, friends and members of the local community who are central to the life of Colston’s Primary School. Our whole school community abides by our core values of: respect, kindness, listening, learning, doing our best and being safe which make our school a happy and harmonious place to learn and work. Our vision statement is: ‘To develop confident learners who aspire to and attain high standards of achievement for themselves in all areas of life’ and the desire to achieve this for every one of our children underpins all we do at Colston’s.

As the fairly new head of Colston’s I have recent experience that it is a welcoming, happy school where people are helpful, considerate and respectful of each other. Relationships and attitudes are positive and an environment exists in which working and learning becomes an enjoyable and fulfilling experience for all. I feel privileged to be the headteacher of a school which is truly unique and which has such a strong involvement with it’s community.

Our school has a positive reputation for embracing and celebrating the cultural diversity of the city ofBristol. This is reflected in our rich, thematic curriculum and our commitment to inclusion and unity. At all times we strive for the highest standards in all areas of the curriculum for all children.

At Colston’s Primary School we welcome parents as partners so that, together, we can promote high standards of learning, behaviour and attitudes to enable every child to be the best that they can be. We also welcome your involvement in all aspects of school life and have an active PTAF group who will help and encourage you to do this.

Thank-you for your interest in our school and I hope that our website provides you with a flavour of what our school has to offer you and your child. I encourage you to come and visit us to find out more by having a tour of our interesting buildings and talking to our staff and children. Appointments can be made through the school office.

I look forward to meeting you in the near future and look forward to a happy and successful relationship with you over the coming years.

With kind regards

Maddy Kent
