Term 5: The Zoo that comes to Sea Mills
The theatre came to Sea Mills Primary School and Nursery at the end of term 5. ‘The Zoo that comes to you’ was a fantastic mixture of puppetry, song and laughs that had the children entranced and was a great way to end the term.
Bristol Standard 2026
A big congratulations to all of our Early Years staff, from our 2YO Tulip room through to our Reception team. They have worked very hard collecting evidence and developing their practice to a high standard to retain our Bristol Standard status for 2026 – 2027. Please feel free to view our acceptance letter. We are very proud of all of our research and efforts and we will continue to support your children with care, love and the best-informed teaching practice.
The Bristol Standard Quality Improvement Framework
“Improving on our previous best”
The Bristol Standard is a self-evaluation framework that is used by early years practitioners and play workers to enable them to take part in reflective discussions. It supports a journey of continuous improvement. It can be used effectively as a framework for action planning and is very useful as evidence for Ofsted and other stakeholders. The Bristol Standard brings teams together with a shared vision and supports ongoing staff professional development. Children are at the heart of the Bristol Standard.
Term 4: Year two had a fantastic time at the SS Great Britain!
They learnt all about Brunel, visited the ship and also enjoyed dressing up. We also had a brilliant workshop.

November 2025 – Road Safety Week
This week we have been learning about how to cross the road safely.
