I am very proud to be the Headteacher of Hardwick and Cambourne Community Primary School (HCCPS) a unique school: two campuses, two communities, one family. I invite you to come and visit our campuses to experience for yourself our friendly, busy and happy atmosphere.
I believe that every child matters, and our school atmosphere promotes a sense of inclusion allowing our pupils to flourish and achieve in a friendly, caring setting. Our dedicated staff have high aspirations for all our children, as well as the knowledge and experience to allow them to achieve to the highest standards possible.
We aim to give you a flavour of life at HCCPS and what we can offer your child as well as providing up to date information for parents, pupils and the wider community. We know and celebrate that every child is different and our teaching approach reflects the appreciation that children learn in different ways.
At HCCPS, our aim is that our children leave us not only with high standards in English and Maths, but also with the confidence, drive and sense of wider purpose needed to thrive in their future learning and beyond in life.
