Head Teacher Welcome

Mr Simon Minter
Head Teacher

Welcome to Hillside Primary School. We are a small and friendly school located in the village of Bradwell set on large grounds. We have 211 pupils and a highly skilled, dedicated and caring staff. We firmly believe in developing the whole child and that every child is entitled to a rich, broad, creative, challenging and fun curriculum where they can grow into independent and successful individuals.

We enrich the curriculum with visits and visitors and a selection of clubs and activities, encouraging pupils to develop their creative and sporting potential as well as their academic abilities.

We also have a Nursery and a Specialist Resources Base (SRB) on site for Cognition and Learning which delivers short-term targeted support for children from local schools.

On our most recent inspection (Oct 2024), Ofsted described us as a good school where:

  • We are inclusive and welcoming
  • The school is aspirational for pupils
  • The school’s curriculum is broad and ambitious
  • Pupils with SEND are fully involved in all in aspects of school life, including performances, residential trips and visits

We hope you enjoy your visit to our school website and that you find everything that you are looking for. Please don’t hesitate to contact us should you wish to find out more about the school or would like to arrange a visit and witness for yourself the high quality education and care that we provide to all our pupils.
