Hillside is a popular primary school where our school values are at the heart of our bespoke curriculum. We are proud of our diverse community and are ambitious for our children to achieve their full potential.

We are proud of our team and what we are able to offer staff who wish to join us. We recognise that joining a new school is as much about what we can provide, as it is about what the successful applicant can give to us. Therefore, we can offer:

• Curious & enthusiastic children
• A well-resourced school that is focused on children becoming effective and empowered learners
• Extensive grounds that include an orchard, MUGA, outdoor classroom, pond, and community allotment
• A team of hardworking and enthusiastic professionals
• A supportive Leadership Team and Governing Body that go above and beyond to support staff
• The opportunity to work across the Orchard Learning Alliance, the Trust we are joining, where you can work with other schools in the local area
• A chance to be creative and drive the school forward
• A commitment to CPD

Our vision

At Hillside, we are committed to building a community where all citizens respect each other. We celebrate diversity, encourage inclusion and develop our collaborative skills.

Excellent teaching and the design of our curriculum, equips all young people with the knowledge and skills for future challenges as lifelong learners. The curriculum stimulates their curiosity of how people, places, and events influence how we live today.

Our values are at the heart of our school.  We are dedicated to creating a safe, happy and caring learning environment where we will support each other to thrive and succeed. We strive to remove the barriers to success and build resilience to achieve. We encourage parents, teachers and community members to be actively involved in our children’s lives and learning.
