About

We are a very small, vibrant and nurturing primary school close to the picturesque Whitby Abbey on the beautiful Yorkshire Coast. At Hawsker, we create opportunities for creativity, innovation and communication throughout the primary years.

We pride ourselves in developing children's personal development, well- being and wider curriculum opportunities and ensure that these are valued as highly as academic progress. We strive to ensure that pupils at Hawsker are happy and confident individuals who demonstrate the Christian Values during their time in school and within the community.

We use these values to support our teaching of the fundamental British Values and extend these to encompass our core Christian values of hope, trust, respect and community. We create a safe and secure Christian environment where all may achieve their full potential and feel a sense of pride in their own achievements and the achievements of others.

The needs of our children always come first and we work closely with parents, building positive relationships that help contribute to the work we do. Our vision of Flourish, succeed; let your light shine alongside Christian Values provides the framework for all aspects of school life and underpins the daily experience for everyone in our school.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
