iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to our school "Love thy neighbour as thyself" ( Matthew 22: 39 ) I am delighted to welcome you to our school. We are a small, village primary school that is part of a community that is vibrant and active. The education that we provide is focused, relevant and stimulating designed to give the children rich and diverse learning opportunities.
We recognise every child as an individual and encourage them to be truly global citizens.
The school is an important part of the village; we recognise the benefits of developing effective relationships within our village community – as the village 'reaches in', we reach out, understanding that close liaison promotes cohesion within the community and enrichment to our wider curriculum. We are part of the 'Hathern Family'.
The children, staff, governors and parents are very proud of our school and welcome visitors to have a look at the school. If you have any questions or would like a tour of the school, please contact the school office who will be happy to help.
