		<description><![CDATA[New Parents for 2026

Kind Minds, Strong Skills, Bright Futures.

Choosing the right school for you and your child can be a challenging task. At Hillsgrove, we encourage potential pupils and their families to come and meet us and view our school. We are incredibly proud of our children and what they achieve and enjoy showing the wider community what life is like at Hillsgrove.

Ms Laurie (Principal) along with Miss Walters (Assistant Principal)&nbsp;would like to invite parents and carers of children who will be starting Reception in 2026&nbsp;to view our wonderful school.

This involves being shown around our EYFS department and having&nbsp;a chance to see how we approach teaching and learning at Hillsgrove. It is also a good chance to meet with the Senior Leadership Team and ask questions about our vision and ethos.

We encourage all parents and carers to come along during the school day, as we feel this is the best time to see the school in action - with children thriving and teachers teaching. After the tour of EYFS, our 2 Senior Ambassadors will show you around the rest of our school and will be more than happy to answer your questions.

These sessions run every&nbsp;Friday&nbsp;(10am onwards) from September 13th until December.

Nursery tours will run until April.

To arrange a viewing, please contact the school office on 020 8303 4949&nbsp; or email admin@hillsgrove.bexley.sch.uk to speak with our staff who can let you know our&nbsp;availability.

We really hope you enjoy looking around our school and hope we see you in the future with your child in Hillsgrove uniform.
