About Us

Lyde Green Primary is an oversubscribed and unique school, based at Lyde Green near Bristol. Since being built and opened around 10 years ago, the school has grown and changed rapidly, and now is about to enter the next stage of its journey by opening a second site, less than 1km from the existing site. Over time, the school will grow to a capacity of over 800 pupils, split across two outstanding two‑form‑entry facilities. In addition to the provision of 840 mainstream school places, we also have an equally unique 16 place Access Centre for pupils aged 4‑7, with a primary diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

Our aim is to inspire and encourage a passion for lifelong learning in our children, sparking curiosity, promoting creativity and nurturing developing passions to ensure that our children grow and thrive on their journey through school.

Our dedicated team of staff model themselves as lifelong learners and put our children’s best interests at the heart of everything they do and they work hard to ensure children remain challenged, motivated and engaged with their learning throughout their time with us.
