Amalgamation Consultation

Consultation on the proposed amalgamation of Cathedral Primary School and Hotwells Primary School

We would like to invite you to take part in a formal consultation on the future of Cathedral Primary School and its proposed merger with Hotwells Primary School. This consultation is being carried out in partnership with Bristol City Council who will be in attendance at the public consultation meeting.

Your views are very important to us and we would like to know what you think of the proposal. We would like to hear from everyone associated with both schools, including staff, parents, carers, pupils and community members. 

You can find further information here: Consultation Information and FAQs.

The consultation process to amalgamate Hotwells Primary School and Cathedral Primary School also includes a proposal to vary admission arrangements that have been determined for Cathedral Primary School and Bristol Cathedral Choir School.
