At Graven Hill Primary and Preschool, we believe every child should belong, achieve and thrive as part of a warm, connected, and ambitious community. Our school sits at the heart of the Graven Hill development and was purpose-built to nurture curious minds, confident learners, and compassionate citizens. Since opening in September 2023, we have been committed to creating a vibrant, inclusive environment where children feel known, valued, and inspired every day.

We are a school built on the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to flourish — academically, socially, and emotionally. Our curriculum is designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking, offering hands‑on experiences and meaningful connections to the world beyond the classroom. These rich learning opportunities help children develop resilience, independence and a strong sense of self, enabling them to achieve their personal best.

Belonging is at the core of our ethos. We know children thrive when they feel part of something bigger — a community where they are supported, championed and encouraged to grow. Our founding team, drawn from across The Warriner Multi Academy Trust and further afield, shares a commitment to excellence and collaboration. The Trust brings a wealth of expertise and a culture of continuous improvement, ensuring that we offer the highest standards of education from the very beginning.

Our school environment has been thoughtfully designed to support children’s wellbeing and development, with high‑quality learning spaces, extensive outdoor areas, and a focus on community involvement. We work in close partnership with families because we believe that children achieve most when school and home are united. From our earliest stages, we have welcomed families into the journey, creating opportunities to connect, contribute and celebrate together.

Our values guide everything we do. As our Headteacher expresses, these values — humility, perseverance, continuous improvement, and belief in our collective potential — shape our culture and help define who we are as a school. They ensure that Graven Hill is “a truly standout school in a truly unique community,” where staff, children, and families work together to have a positive impact on as many people as possible.

Today, Graven Hill Primary and Preschool stands as a growing, thriving community school where every child is encouraged to belong deeply, achieve confidently, and thrive proudly. We are delighted to be building something special with our families — a school rooted in community, driven by excellence, and dedicated to nurturing the potential in every child.
