Dear Parents and Carers

We are very excited to welcome your child(ren) into our school! Some of you already have children attending Hillcrest, so you know a lot about our lovely school community. For others it's all a new experience.

We would like to invite you to our Parent/Carer Meeting on Tuesday 24th June 5.30pm-6.30pm in the school hall. This will be an opportunity to find out more about starting school and for us to answer any questions you may have.  

In order to meet children’s individual needs and so that they can be with some friends from their current setting in their new class we have sent you a form to complete. If you would like a paper copy, please pop into the school office. We are contacting pre-school settings too, to gather information about your child to support their transition into Reception. 

Once classes are finalised, in June, we will be sending you further information about a Stay and Play school visit in July, a home visit in September and the induction period. 

Please could you email me a family photo, so we can start preparing our 'Family Wall'? kbelcher@hillcrest.bristol.sch.uk

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the school. You can email us at school@hillcrest.bristol.sch.uk

In the meantime, click HERE to watch a short introductory video about our lovely school, and   please do explore our website. You will get a flavour of the life of the school on our Year Group pages and Galleries, and find lots of useful information under the Parents tab. 

We are very much looking forward to meeting you and your child(ren) in the coming months.

Head Teacher's Welcome

We are delighted that your child will be joining our school's Reception class in September. We're looking forward to getting to know both you and your child.

Starting school is an exciting and happy time for the whole family but it can also raise lots of questions! We hope this introduction will begin to answer some of those questions, and signpost you to further information on our website.

We want to make the transition into school as smooth as possible and we will do our very best to make you and your child feel secure, valued and ready for the start of the new school year.

Hillcrest is a very special place and we are pleased to welcome you to our school community.
