About Us
About Our School
Primrose Hill was opened in September 2007 following the amalgamation of St Clement's CE and Radclyffe Community primary schools.. Initially designed as a 1.5 form entry school, Primrose Hill has grown rapidly in recent years and is now in the process of expanding into a three-form entry school with currently over 500 pupils on roll. Despite increased numbers, all of our pupils are known individually to us and we want all of our children to reach their full potential in order for them to lead long, purposeful and fulfilled lives. We believe that every child can – and will – succeed here at Primrose Hill.
Together, we have created a happy and vibrant school with equal opportunities for all. A school where every individual is celebrated and highly valued and where care, concern and ambition for each other is central to our work.
Working in partnership with our families and a range of organisations, Primrose Hill provides a safe, engaging and supportive learning environment designed to assess and meet the needs of all children and provide them with the skills necessary to be healthy, successful lifelong learners and good citizens in an ever-changing world.
