Cherry Garden is a happy and vibrant school situated on the outskirts of Bristol on the Bath side. It is a school that has been at the heart of the community since 1980, but also draws children from a wide area, in part due to our passion for inclusion and being a school for all. Parents play a critical role in the school, and we pride ourselves on the way in which we engage parents in their children’s education, and the way in which parents give back to the school through our very successful and dynamic PTA. We have long-established links with local organisations such as a local garden centre and a residential care home.
The school prides itself on educational excellence delivered by our dedicated, enthusiastic and highly skilled staff. Our rich and engaging curriculum is further enhanced by an enrichment programme for children across Key Stage 1 and 2, as well as a wide range of after school clubs that are run by staff, coaches and members of the local community.
The outdoors is incredibly important to the whole school community, and we make full use of our extensive grounds which includes a half-acre of woodland which the children know as the Magic Forest. As well as being a brilliant natural space, you will find in here a large outdoor classroom, tree house, den, extensive pond and several rope swings. This is one of the great spaces that we utilise to bring both the curriculum and playtimes to life.
Playtimes are incredibly important to the school, as an OPAL Platinum School, our play is deemed to be in the top 2% nationally. Children play freely with a range of loose parts but also some fixed equipment such as mud kitchens and of course, The Merry Cherry – our fabulous boat that sits within the grounds.
