School of Sanctuary

We are thrilled to share that Filton Avenue Nursery School is the first Nursery in Bristol to receive the School of Sanctuary award – this is a fantastic achievement and celebrates our inclusive value that says: “everyone is welcome” and recognises the warm, welcoming environment we strive to create each day.

Being recognised as a School of Sanctuary means our school has shown a clear commitment to making sure every child and family feels welcomed, safe, and supported to thrive. Safeguarding is our highest priority.

The Schools of Sanctuary programme is not political — it simply helps schools to understand why people seek safety and to lead with kindness and humanity.

We are proud to be a school where every child feels safe, where individual needs are understood, and where pupils are equipped to be kind and thoughtful members of our community.
