Proposed merger with Cathedral Schools Trust

Nova Primary School

Nova Primary School joined TiLA in February 2025. We are situated between the residential areas of Shirehampton, Lawrence Weston and Avonmouth and are proud to serve all three communities.

Nova is a highly inclusive school; the star in our letter ‘O’ represents each and everyone of our pupils, whom we see as unique and important. We believe that the future is bright for our pupils and it is our mission to set each and every one of them on the trajectory to success and fulfilment in their lives. We encourage them to focus on their personal success and also to become caring and considerate citizens, who are passionate about issues affecting their community and the wider world.

Our school values permeate everything we do:

 

TRUST             – In ourselves and in our school community                                         

FRIENDSHIP   – Showing kindness and learning together                                        

DISCOVERY   – Showing bravery to challenge ourselves, without limits, so that we can be our personal best      

SUCCESS       – A belief that with effort anything is achievable

 

Our three year vision sets out our priorities for preparing our pupils for the next stage of their education and their adult lives:

  1. The Nova curriculum prepares all learners for a diverse and rapidly changing world.
  2. Achievement is high in all subjects for all levels of need.
  3. The Nova Star team are highly skilled and reflective practitioners

Nova is a happy place to learn and play- a school where everyone matters and everyone thrives.
