Seven Hills Primary School

Welcome!

Welcome to our School Website.

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the website of Seven Hills Primary School. As the Headteacher of this caring and nurturing school, I am excited about the opportunities, challenges and learning experiences provided for the children. Whatever your child's ability, you can be sure that we will meet their need as we strive for excellence in all we do. Supporting our high expectations, Seven Hills Primary was one of the first schools in the country to be a Mindmate Champions school (the highest available category for supporting pupil well-being) and recognises the highly effective provision that ensures our children are determined, resilient, caring, hard-working, brave and aspirational. We are also qualified Healthy Schools, PSHE Friendly and Asthma Friendly. We have Platinum status (highest available) for our Travel Planning which links to our sustainability work (Silver Award). We also have the History Silver Award, the PE and Sport Gold Award and the Primary Science Quality Mark. All staff members are passionate in ensuring that we give our children the best possible start in life, both academically and socially.

The curriculum we provide gives the children a unique and exceptional provision with a clear intent through our VALUED approach. These learning experiences include: IMPROVE Writing; topics with subjects interconnected to each other and also linked by book/ class novels; an exciting, progressive reading scheme and a wide variety of opportunities for achieving greater depth in the foundation subjects. Connections are made between all aspects and topics so that the curriculum has a build-up of knowledge, understanding and skills as the children progress through their learning journey at Seven Hills. In addition, our curriculum helps to foster the children’s community pride and their understanding and respect for British Values. The children’s classrooms are fabulous learning areas and provide a highly stimulating environment in which to learn.

Our parents and carers are respected and highly valued partners in all we do. It is vitally important that we build on this very positive relationship between home and school. During their years at Seven Hills, together, we ensure that every child’s true potential is reached. Parent responses to our March 2025 questionnaire were very positive: 99.6% of parents would recommend Seven Hills to another parent; 99.6% of parents stated that their child feels safe and 96.6% of parents stated that their child progresses well at Seven Hills. The full results can be seen on the school website – I am sure that you will agree they are extremely positive and reflect our strong partnership with parents.

High quality teaching from staff, excellent support from parents and a love for learning from our outstanding children, consistently enables Seven Hills Primary School to achieve strong assessment results as our children progress through school. For instance, last year’s Year 6 SATs results for combined Reading, Writing and Maths attainment - achieving the Expected Standard EXS in all these subjects - was 64% which is 3% above the national average of 61%.

As well as good levels of progress with children’s reading through our focused early phonics (ELS) provision and our book/ novel approach, the Ofsted Inspection Data Summary Report 2023, states that progress in Maths and Writing is significantly above the national average at Seven Hills by the end of Key Stage Two.
