🎉Happy 70th Birthday, Henbury Court Primary Academy! 🎉

On Wednesday afternoon, we proudly celebrated Henbury Court Primary Academy’s 70th birthday and what a wonderful afternoon it was! It was fantastic to welcome so many former pupils and staff back to school to share memories, reconnect with old friends and be part of this special milestone.

A highlight of the afternoon was the Lord Mayor officially cutting the ribbon to our newly planted commemorative orchard, which will serve as a lasting reminder of this important occasion for generations to come.

This term, as part of their local history curriculum, children across the school have been exploring the fascinating history of Henbury Court. Did you know that our school site was once home to a Manor House? From Nursery through to Year 6, children completed a range of projects and pieces of work which were proudly displayed in a special exhibition during our celebrations. Take a look at the photos to see the incredible work they produced—we are so proud of their curiosity, creativity and enthusiasm for learning about our local heritage.

And, of course, no birthday celebration would be complete without a cake! 🎂 And it certainly wouldn’t be a Henbury Court birthday cake without a possum making an appearance! 🦫

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating 70 years of learning, friendship and community. Here’s to the next chapter of Henbury Court’s story!

✨ Welcome to Henbury Court Primary Academy ✨

We’re so pleased to be here and to share a little window into life at Henbury Court Primary Academy, right at the heart of our Bristol community 💛

We are a welcoming, two‑form entry primary school where children are known, supported and encouraged to be curious, confident learners from the very start of their journey. 🌱

For our youngest children, we pride ourselves on offering a nurturing, playful and positive start in EYFS, building strong foundations for learning, friendships and a lifelong love of school.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing moments from school life, learning in action and what makes Henbury Court such a special place to grow and belong.

👋 If you’re a family thinking about starting school, we’d love you to follow along and get to know us.

Wow! What a fantastic Cultural Week!
2025 was our biggest celebration yet.

A big thank you to all the children, families and staff for making it the best yet! It was wonderful celebrating our diverse identities and heritages together through our lunchtime menu where we sampled food from Jamaica, Nigeria, Eastern Europe and India, as well as our exciting whole school fashion show, where children and parents/carers wore outfits representing their cultural identity and heritages. What an amazing sea of colour and diversity it was! We also displayed our artistic learning and skills during our cultural art exhibition, where artwork inspired from countries around the world was on show.

We were especially privileged to conclude the week with the unveiling of our Mural of Belonging—a beautiful collaboration between our children and renowned artist Dr. Michele Curtis Iconic Black Britons . There are a couple of finishing touches but as you can see it is an amazing piece of artwork that is a precious visual legacy of all that we stand for at Henbury Court Primary Academy

Many voices, one strong song- at Henbury Court, we all belong.
