Halebank C E Primary is a hidden gem in the centre of the Halebank community. We encourage all our pupils and families to 'Let your Light Shine' - Matthew 5:16 We currently cater for pupils aged 4 - 11 years. We aim to be fully inclusive and welcome applications from anyone regardless of gender, ability, race, religion or need. We are a small school and have mixed aged classes.
We have a current maximum intake of 105 pupils in total. Our building is fairly new and has had many additions to improve it as a resource for teaching and learning. We are fortunate to have access to a significant amount of outdoor learning space. We have active links with neighbouring schools and St Mary's Church. We have high aspirations for our staff and pupils.
We value our position at the heart of the local community. Please look at our website, follow us on X or call in to talk to us. We are happy to share our ongoing story with you!
