A warm welcome to Hayfield Primary School. Hayfield is a scenic village lying at the foot of Kinder Scout in the Derbyshire Peak District. Our school caters for children, aged 4-11, who live in the village and surrounding areas. We are an integral part of the community in this vibrant village.
Our children enjoy taking part in many community events such as Apple Day, Well Dressing and the May Queen Festival. We are all very proud to work here, adults and children alike. The school is a happy, safe and inclusive place for children to learn and grow and is set in a stunning location.
The team at Hayfield Primary work extremely hard to help every child achieve their full potential during their time with us. The staff pride themselves in knowing each and every child. This results in them supporting, encouraging, nurturing, reassuring and challenging each child every step of the way.
