Headteacher’s Welcome
Welcome to Christ Church Hanham CE Primary!
Thank you for taking the time to explore our website and find out about our school community.
Christ Church Hanham CE VC Primary School is a one-form entry, Church of England Primary School for children aged 4 to 11, serving up to 210 pupils. Although we are based in South Gloucestershire, our school is on the border of Bristol and not far away from the city of Bath; we are keen to celebrate and learn from our excellent location where we are fortunate to have access to such a range of historical and cultural reference points.
At CCH, everything we do is driven by our core vision – Nurture with love- Grow through knowledge and wisdom – Flourish in hope. Every member of our school team believes passionately that every child deserves excellence, each and every day. Through prioritising relationships and getting to really know our children, we are able to understand them as unique individuals, ensuring that our curriculum and teaching is well-matched to their needs. Learning is our core business. It is our aim to ensure that CCH is a true learning community- a setting where all members of our community are inspired and deeply interested in learning in order for us all to continually grow and flourish- both individually and as a team. We believe that primary school is the place where children should experience a wide range of learning, opportunities and enrichment in order to help everyone to discover more about themselves and find their strengths. Through our curriculum drivers, all children at CCH get to learn a musical instrument, participate in a range of sports, enjoy trips to enhance their learning and get to learn from, and give back to, their local community. Children, staff and families also benefit greatly from a close relationship with Reverend Steve and Christ Church.

As a Church of England school, our vision is underpinned by our core Christian values; these values give us a shared reference point for discussing how we can be excellent human beings; people who show friendship, compassion and respect for each other and the world in which we live. At CCH, we are proud that inclusion lies at the core of our school enabling all pupils to feel safe, valued and seen. We continually focus on building trusting relationships and a culture of belonging in order to support every member of our school community to flourish. Through our curriculum, assemblies and values-led approach to behaviour and relationships, our children learn what it means to be citizens of a diverse world and the responsibilities we all have to ensure everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Our children leave CCH well-equipped to play their part in society, and full of hope for the next stage of their journey.
We are immensely proud of our young children and our school community and we are always keen to welcome new members to Team CCH. If you are looking for a school place for your child, please do contact the school office to arrange a visit to see us in action.

“Children get off to a flying start in the early years. Parents and Carers say their children feel loved, cared for and flourish at school. Staff know the pupils and their families well. Over time, pupils become confident, independent thinkers who are well prepared for the next stage of their education.”
Ofsted, June 2023“Through notably strong relationships, the school’s vision promotes an exceptional nurturing culture of love, compassion, encouragement and respect for individuals. Leaders generate a nurturing culture in which pupils and adults are cherished for who they are. This enables the school community to learn and grow together.”
