Henleaze Infant School’s Mission Statement and Vision

Our mission, here, at Henleaze Infant School is to support each student to find their voice and thrive academically and as full members of our community. Together with the other Cathedral School Trust schools we uphold the Trust’s mission statement:

1. Break barriers, achieve excellence

2. Open minds, expand choices
