On behalf of the Governors and all the school staff I would like to warmly welcome you to Hasland Infant and Nursery School. We are very proud of our educational achievements and of our children who consistently tell us how much they enjoy school. We strongly believe education should be holistic and that, within a safe encouraging environment, we can all do our best.
We know that children achieve their best when the partnership between home and school is a good one; open, trusting and with the child at the centre of everything we do. We are committed to providing a first class educational experience for every child we are aspirational for them and we sincerely hope that you will work closely with us to achieve this.
Within our website you will find a wealth of information about our school, which we hope you will read carefully. You are also welcome to come and look around school and should you have any questions, I would be happy to hear from you. We look forward to meeting you and hope you will feel encouraged to involve yourself in the life of our school over the coming years.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
