I am very proud to welcome you to the Hernhill Church of England Primary School website. Here you will find out about all of the wonderful things that happen in our school. Whether you are an existing member of the Hernhill community, a prospective parent or just an interested visitor we hope you find our website interesting and informative.
We want our children to experience life in all its fullness. Our school's Christian vision starts with the four most important words - all are welcome here. Jesus teaches all of us to Treat others as you wish to be treated (Luke 6:31) and our special People Rule is an outworking of this.
This applies to all relationships in our school and underpins everything we do, all policies and procedures.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
