My name is Simon Hillier - Headteacher here at Littlebourne having been appointed to the role in September 2024. At Littlebourne, we lay the foundations for individuality and independence and build happy, secure children who are equipped to face the many adventures that lie ahead of them.
I firmly believe that our school is on an exciting journey - one from which our children, staff and local community will reap the benefits. The children who attend our school are truly wonderful. They consistently uphold our Christian values, are polite, respectful and such good fun!
The entire Littlebourne team live and breathe our Christian Values and Ethos which is what makes our school so special. We fully believe that if we all work together - anything is possible. Our governing body plays a positive role in the life of our school. With its guidance and support, our school continues to go from strength to strength.
Being a Church of England school, we enjoy strong links with our local church, St. Vincents, who support us in upholding our Christian ethos.
