At Blue Bell Hill we are confident that you will find us a welcoming school – one where your child will flourish and realise their potential, whatever that potential might be. 

We are committed to providing our children with the very best opportunities and experiences, and we are proud of the relationships that we have with our children, parents and the community. In partnership, we want to provide an outstanding education for the children at Stanstead, to ensure they are well-equipped to be confident individuals, lifelong learners and good citizens.

Here at Blue Bell Hill, we believe that every child has the potential to do amazing things. Our goal is to make our children happy and have a great time in school. We do this by creating an environment where our children feel safe and secure to take on new challenges and learn new things.
