Welcome to Hedworth Lane Primary School. Whether you are currently part of our school community, or are looking to see what we offer, I hope you find your visit useful. Our school is proud to be a place of learning and caring. These values thread through our curriculum, our inclusive, welcoming environment and extend to our families and the wider community.
We are proud of our long-standing tradition of supporting families in the area. As the new Head Teacher of Hedworth Lane, I am keen to build on this strong, historical heritage whilst ensuring that the young people in our school are challenged, engaged and excited by all aspects of school life. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
