St Werburgh’s Primary School
St Werburgh’s Primary School is a popular inner city primary school that is at the heart of the local community. It caters for children aged 4 –11 years old. The school reflects the wide range of cultures present in the community and has a vibrant and inclusive feel.

The school opened in September 1999 and is situated in a central area of the city of Bristol called St Werburgh’s. Whilst most children come to St Werburgh’s Primary School from the local area, some travel from the adjacent areas of Easton, St Paul’s, and Montpelier. Due to the popularity of the school, the local authority funded an expansion onto a newly refurbished annexe. Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are located here on the Silver Birch annexe.
