The new Norton Hill Primary School is a mainstream 2 - growing to 3 - form entry primary school offering outstanding education across all aspects of the curriculum and emphasising STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and outdoor education. The school caters for all abilities, backgrounds and needs and focuses on providing educational opportunities within an environment that promotes aspiration and achievement.

While STEM and Outdoor Education are key drivers to our curriculum offer, literacy and numeracy is at the centre of all that we do. We follow the National Curriculum for the core subjects and ensure children are rigorously assessed. Non-core subjects follow an adapted form of the national curriculum to make time for STEM and outdoor learning. The Norton Hill Primary School is for pupils aged 4-11, and will promote the benefits of all-through education. Pupils will have the choice of two local partner secondary schools (Norton Hill and Somervale). 

A key feature of this new school will be that secondary school teachers will teach Languages, Technology and outdoor education in the primary school, while primary teachers will lead transition to Y7 and Y8 in the secondary schools. Further to this, primary pupils will be able to use the specialist facilities of the secondaries and as they move into years 5 and 6, get a feel for what secondary school will be like for them.
