Helsby Hillside Primary SchoolOur School
Helsby Hillside Primary School is located alongside the A56 and enjoys a commanding view of the Mersey Estuary, the Manchester Ship Canal and the M56. It also nestles at the foot of Helsby Hill.
The building itself dates back to 1910. The school was a Secondary School until 1964 when, with the population of Helsby increasing, it was refurbished as a new Primary School.
The school is housed in two buildings. The main building consists of 5 classrooms, a hall, a kitchen and administration area. A corridor, from which access to the classrooms is obtained, runs the length of the main building and reflects the work of the children, we have various additional rooms for group intervention work and music. The Early Years building has two classrooms and an outdoor structured play area.
There are two playgrounds separated by the hall, one for the younger children and one for the older children. The playing field is located at Proffits Lane which is a ten minute walk from the school and is used for Forest school activities and sports.
Parental / Family Involvement
We at Hillside firmly believe that the relationship between the parents and the school is crucial if the child's education is to benefit fully. The teaching staff and the parents are partners ensuring that the child obtains only the best that the resources available can provide. Parents are encouraged, if their circumstances permit, to help in the classroom when invited in for certain activities and we have a regular group of volunteers who listen to the children read.
