At Hudson Road, we pride ourselves on our ability to provide a high quality education for our pupils and our close partnership with our families and with the wider community. We work closely with each parent, carer and family and we believe that this close co-operation between home and school is a key part of our success.
Hudson Road serves a diverse inner city area which supports our work in offering a rich, challenging and exciting learning experience. We have a convenient city centre location and our catchment area includes Hendon, the City Centre and the East End. Our numbers also include children from further afield who welcome our friendly child-centred approach.
We are a primary school for boys and girls of all abilities from 3-11 years of age. The school is not affiliated to any particular religious denomination.
