Welcome to Nailsworth CofE Primary School

A very warm welcome to Nailsworth Church of England Primary School.

We are a vibrant, one-form entry, voluntary controlled school nestled in the beautiful town of Nailsworth, within the Stroud Valleys and the stunning Cotswolds. Our unique hilltop setting overlooking our community perfectly reflects our vision: ‘Together we rise, we learn, we love, abundantly.’

At Nailsworth, we believe that schools are at the very heart of their local communities — and our connection with our families, parish and wider community is something we cherish deeply. As part of the Heartwood Federation, we share a steadfast commitment to placing children at the heart of all we do, nurturing love, respect and life-long learning.

Our vision speaks to who we are: ‘Together’ reminds us that we flourish through strong, caring relationships — which are the foundation of our school. ‘We rise’ reflects our belief in perseverance and striving for excellence. ‘We learn’ is our core purpose, and ‘we love, abundantly’ expresses our commitment to a nurturing, inclusive environment rooted in Christian values.

Our four core values — love, perseverance, truthfulness, and respect — guide everything we do. They shape how we learn together, how we treat one another, and how we grow as a community where every child is valued, supported and encouraged to be the very best they can be.

Every day, our dedicated team works to inspire curiosity, creativity and confidence in all our children, helping them grow into caring, resilient and thoughtful individuals ready to make a positive difference in the world.

Whether you are a current parent, a prospective family, or a member of our wider community, I warmly invite you to explore our website to see what makes Nailsworth CofE Primary School such a special place to learn and thrive.

We look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful school family.
