For September 2026, we have spaces in Year 2 and Year 4
I am delighted to extend a very warm welcome to you and your child to Berry Hill Primary School on behalf of the children, staff, parents, and Governors. Since joining in January 2023, I have taken great pride in serving as the Headteacher of our wonderful school.
At Berry Hill, we are dedicated to providing the best opportunities and outcomes for every child. We recognise and celebrate the unique qualities of each individual child and strive to help them achieve their full academic potential while ensuring their health and happiness are nurtured.
Situated in the heart of Berry Hill, Coleford, our single-form village primary school is an integral part of the community. Collaboration with parents, carers, and the wider community is highly valued as we work together to support our children's development and growth.
Our school boasts an impressive range of facilities, including a vast field with a dedicated forest schools area, a library, a computer room and Buddies (our before and after-school club). These resources provide enriching experiences and support our holistic approach to education.
With our vision The Berry Hill Family - Valued individuals, aspirational learners, exceptional futures - we are committed to creating a caring and nurturing environment where every child can flourish academically and personally.
I encourage you to explore our website to gain insight into our school community. However, nothing compares to experiencing our school firsthand. I warmly invite you to visit us to see the vibrant learning environment we have created at Berry Hill.
Should you have any queries or wish to learn more about our school, please feel free to contact us. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to connect with you and welcome you into our Berry Hill family.

“You are not only supportive of the children but for the parents as well, and any concerns I have ever had, which haven’t been many have been answered. It’s a very good School, in my opinion”
“The school has a lovely community feel where the children are met with fantastic staff who put so much effort into their roles. All staff I have met have been so friendly and welcoming, I feel 100% confident that my child is receiving the best care and education at Berry Hill.”
“Having Pastoral support is great when needed. It has been great with my child’s transition of coming into a new class.”
“At the most recent parent evening, I was pleased to be able to see my child’s school books so examples of his work could be discussed when I met with his teacher. This shows my feedback is valued as in the last survey; I commented how as a full-time working parent, I have previously been unable to see my child’s work as books were not out at previous parents’ evenings, only at families in school days.”
“There is now so much more on offer for children at playtimes which my child talks about very positively. It has also been wonderful to see all the extracurricular provisions in place for the children, sporting events and the upcoming Young Voices concert in February. The list goes on as there are many improvements to the school.”
“Parent engagement, it's nice to always be able to chat on pick up and not feel rushed or like a burden. Each teacher my child has had takes the time to answer any questions.”
“The pairing of the year 5 children with reception buddies is fantastic. It helped support my child when he was in reception, and it has been even more wonderful for him now that he is in year 5. It seems to bring a lovely caring and nurturing side in the year 5 children.”
“The school seems fun by having after-school clubs, OPAL and events, like the PTA planned events and Christmas nativity etc.”
