Dear Parents, Carers and Visitors,

A warm welcome to Holy Apostles’ Church of England Primary School. We hope you can get a sense of the vibrant spirit, ambitious pursuits, and nurturing environment that define our school. Holy Apostles’ is located on the south western edge of Cheltenham with a fantastic view of the Cotswold escapement.

At Holy Apostles’ Church of England Primary School, we take pride in our rich tradition, firmly grounded in the school's Christian ethos and vision. This tradition ensures that our pupils are well-behaved but also learn to care for themselves and each other. Guided by our dedicated staff, they are empowered to achieve high standards across all aspects of their school life.

Being a Church of England Primary School, we cherish our close ties with Holy Apostles’ Church. Reverend Collishaw regularly joins us for school worship, enhancing the sense of community and spiritual growth.

Our overarching goal is to ensure that all pupils, whenever they leave us, are sufficiently equipped with the skills and resilience needed to triumph over the challenges that await them. We place immense importance on our partnerships with parents, the Church, and the community to achieve this objective. Visitors often highlight the joyful and industrious atmosphere we foster, qualities we actively cherish and promote. Within our school community, every member, from children to parents/carers, staff, and beyond, is acknowledged and celebrated for their contribution to the success of Holy Apostles’ School. Our purpose is to inspire each child to cultivate a profound love for learning, offering them a diverse range of opportunities. In essence, "Learn Well, Live Well, Together" encapsulates our school’s way of life, permeating everything we do and grounded in our Christian values.

We, the staff and governors, are proud of our school and the personal and academic achievements of our pupils. Hopefully you will find the answers to many of your questions on this site. If you are interested in finding out more, do get in touch. Our children and staff would love to show you around.

We look forward to meeting and working with you so that Holy Apostles’ School continues to be the very special place that it is.

Dan Smith
