I am very proud to be the Head of School at Haslemere, supported by a highly skilled and dedicated team of teachers and support staff.
The school is a two form entry primary with an integrated nursery and pre-school The staff at Haslemere have high expectations of all the children, and would like them to leave school as confident, polite and independent young people, with the appropriate skills, values and learning to become successful in whatever their eventual career paths will be.
We aspire to instill in all our pupils a desire to 'Aim for the Stars' and to succeed in whatever they do, across all areas of school life and beyond. Our school is dedicated to providing the best possible education for every pupil in a stimulating and safe environment. We follow a literacy-rich curriculum, centred around a text.
To make learning exciting and engaging, we include lots of skills-based learning within our lessons. We are committed to all aspects of education and development, encouraging families to work in partnership with us to realise our aim, of successfully helping each child to achieve their full potential.
