Hawthorns Primary School

Hawthorns Primary School has always been there for us, giving good care and education, and helping my daughter learn and develop into the great little girl she is today. When something isn’t quite right, they talk to you, explain the situation, and find new ways to deal with it.
The nursery staff have been great with my two children. My eldest was able to brighten her essence, and my little one as well. My youngest has many challenges, and they have embraced this journey with me, adapting their setting and training to support him and his needs and help him access early education. I know he loves it, and I’m very grateful he has this chance.
I am pleased to have this opportunity to share my experience. My Son started off with a very challenging time at Hawthorns having all sorts of needs and the school did a very huge job making him feel safe and comfortable, I could not say thank you enough for the constant help given to him throughout the years.
My children absolutely love coming in and I don’t have a single complaint about how the boys have been treated in school. It’s a small loving school with help in every corner and for a mum like me that is heaven sent. I cannot wait for my youngest to experience the same and create her own memories. Thank you once again
"Moving my daughter’s school in Year 5 and 2 was daunting, you always second guess yourself as a parent- am I making the right choice?! I am so pleased I did - Hawthorns have gone above and beyond to make my daughters and myself feel welcome and part of their school community". Truly lovely school and caring supportive staff.

Welcome

At Hawthorns Primary and Nursery School, children are at the heart of everything we do. Our inclusive culture and ethos is one of openness and transparency, a place that has an ‘open door’ and welcomes daily interactions around the needs of children and their families.

We know that children who feel safe and happy are best placed for developing a love of learning and thriving at school and in life. Our ethos enables children to work hard, in a safe, supportive learning environment, so that they can achieve the highest standards that they are capable of. Our school is fully inclusive; teachers and teaching assistants successfully support a wide range of needs to ensure all children can access and enjoy our curriculum.

We pride ourselves on the level of care shown for each individual child. We take our safeguarding responsibilities very seriously and work hard to ensure that every child is, and feels, safe, and has a caring and supportive environment in which to work, grow and enjoy their time. Underpinning everything is the shared goal between our parents/carers, staff and other stakeholders to provide our children with the best possible education and experiences, preparing them for their next stage of education academically, but also with life skills, cultural capital and a good level of emotional resilience.

Fundamental to our success is everyone in the school community working well and supportively together. It is therefore important that everyone feels valued and knows that they can contribute their thoughts and opinions.

Our school is fortunate to be part of Schoolsworks Academy Trust who have wide ranging relevant skills, whose job it is to challenge what the school is doing and support its strategic leadership. Parents/carers will have opportunities to meet and engage with our SCC, who are also keen to receive feedback and ideas.

I'm very much looking forward to continuing to work with our school community and to welcoming new families. I hope you enjoy exploring our website, and learning more about what we have to offer.
