All about Silverhill School

Silverhill School - Main Building

The School was originally started in 1947 in a house in Almondsbury. It moved to Silverhill Brake in Rudgeway two years later, when it became known as Silverhill School. It moved to its present ten acre site in 1992 to enable it to offer a full range of educational activities.

The old Winterbourne House was a private residence before becoming part of the school and at present houses the library, the dining room and the administrative offices. Silverhill's beautiful grounds contain a number of sports pitches, netball/tennis courts, play orchard, pond and wildlife garden.

There are about 200 children in the school, divided equally between the Nursery, Pre-Preparatory and Preparatory Departments. Most of these children will go on to the area's selective senior schools at age 11.

At Silverhill School, we aim to give children the best education possible. Children can only give their very best if they are happy and interested in what they are doing. Silverhill achieves this by keeping the children motivated and involved in a wide range of activities both in and out of the classroom.

Naturally, importance is given to academic progress and our small classes assist with this. A great deal of individual attention is given to each child. We also believe that children need to develop self-confidence and self-discipline, and to learn good manners and consideration for others. Silverhill is a caring environment in which children flourish. 

The school's facilities include a large and well-resourced Nursery, with extended day care and holiday play scheme. There is an early and late room (up to 6pm) facility. Unusually, there is a cookery block, large Science block and spacious Art room.

The site is ideal for Silverhill's sporting activities, which include football, netball, tag rugby, lacrosse and a new golf club - not to mention tennis and athletics in the spring and summer. Swimming is also timetabled. Competition with local schools is a regular feature.

Enjoy your visit to our website. Find out what the school is like and then come to see us for yourselves - there is always plenty going on at Silverhill!
