About Hillside Primary School

Hillside is a two-form entry primary school with its own pre-school, catering for children aged 2-11, with additional classes in Years 4, 5 and 6 currently. 


Our school opened on the 1st September 2025 in our newly refurbished and decorated school buildings, following the amalgamation of Moat and Robinswood Primary Schools . 

At Hillside Primary School, we are dedicated to creating an environment where all children, parents, and staff are supported to be the absolute BEST versions of themselves. We believe that true education is a collaborative journey. By working closely with parents, our staff ensures that every child learns to believe in their unique potential and makes continuous progress toward achieving it. We are a community built on a shared vision and a vibrant culture for learning—one that perfectly balances a high level of genuine care with constructive challenge. Every day, we strive to foster an authentic, welcoming space that makes Hillside the ultimate place to learn, grow, and work.


We believe a powerful curriculum is the foundation of lifelong success. At Hillside, our educational philosophy is anchored by five core pillars that shape how our pupils engage with the wider world:

• 
  Reading is the key to everything: Reading is the gateway to our entire vision. We use a precisely sequenced journey to build the cultural capital our children need to belong, succeed academically, and navigate "hard thinking" with resilience.


• 
  Writing opens the door: We teach the foundational knowledge required for children to become coherent, complex, and accurate writers. Through intentional, small steps, pupils explicitly learn to edit, refine, and improve their work.


• 
  Speaking starts the show: Effective communication builds self-awareness and empathy. We empower children to voice their unique potential, engage deeply with their community, and show the resilience to be their most authentic selves.


• 
  Maths unlocks the world: We cultivate the belief that through hard work and conceptual understanding, mathematical success is achievable for everyone. By developing fluency and reasoning through a small-steps curriculum, we teach that mistakes are essential steps toward embracing hard thinking.


• 
  Personal Development guides the way: Through PSHE, assemblies, and community-led activities, we foster the self-awareness and empathy needed to belong. Our pupils learn to appreciate protected characteristics, celebrate a rich tapestry of backgrounds, and build the positive relationships required to succeed both personally and socially.
  
  
  

Inclusion is not an add-on at Hillside; it is the golden thread woven through everything we do. We are deeply committed to ensuring that every single child—regardless of background, ability, or circumstance—can believe in their potential. We achieve this through a high-quality universal offer combined with carefully tailored adaptations. By proactively identifying and removing barriers to learning, we empower all pupils to engage with our ambitious curriculum and make meaningful progress toward Age-Related Expectations. Through a compassionate, small-steps approach and high levels of care, we cultivate the resilience every learner needs to try, thrive, and be the BEST version of themselves.
