Following a recent consultation with all stakeholders, Nailsworth C of E Primary School will be federating with Upton St Leonards C of E Primary School. The two schools endeavour to officially federate on Monday 10th February 2025.
All children and staff were consulted on the final name and vision which Governors took a final vote on:
‘Heartwood Federation’– the name ‘Heartwood’ symbolises strength, connection and shared love and care between the schools. Heartwood is wood nearer the pith of a stem or branch, different in colour from sapwood.
‘Together, we place children at the heart; nurturing love, respect, and life-long learning.’ - this considers Nailsworth’s core value of community and both school’s inclusive nature; both school’s core values of love and respect; as well as our core purpose of learning whilst ensuring all decision making is child-centred.
We look forward to exciting future together.
