Hillside Community Primary School

Who are we

A warm welcome to Hillside Community Primary School's website. The purpose of this website is to provide up to date information about the school; to enable parents to have a greater understanding of the activities that take place on a weekly basis; to provide a means to celebrate children's achievements and finally to provide a link for the children so that they can access suitable sites to support their learning. Many of you are already familiar with Hillside, but I hope that this website will refresh your memory and help you gain an even greater knowledge of the school and a more in-depth understanding of all that we are trying to achieve. Hillside was built in 1969, one of the first schools to be built as part of the new town development serving the needs of the Community of Tanhouse. The school which is an extremely bright and airy two storey design provides a fantastically spacious environment for children aged from 4 -11.

Cultural Education Challenge Commitment

Our school is taking on the Cultural Education Challenge. This means that our learning journey takes us to places where we can create, compose, perform, visit, experience, participate, know, understand and review great art and culture. Along the way, we meet inspiring artists and cultural experts that help us explore our own and others’ inventiveness. Together we inspire each other to be creative, courageous and curious.
