Welcome to Horton Grange Primary School! I am delighted and proud to be Head Teacher at Horton Grange after having worked as Deputy Headteacher for a significant period of time and being part of the amazing journey that this school has been on. There is something special about Horton Grange – we're proud of our school and our achievements!
Our school website will give you a flavour of what we're about and hopefully it will encourage you to find out more, whether you're a pupil, a parent or a visitor. If you require paper copies of documents Here you will find, school will provide these free of charge. At Horton Grange we work hard to be the best we can be in all areas of school life.
We expect a lot from adults and children alike - we support and challenge each other to aim high and achieve our goals. Children know what it means to be a 'Horton Hero' and part of 'Team Horton'.
We are committed to the highest standards of teaching and learning – achieved through a combination of challenge, support, encouragement and praise – to ensure that all students fulfill their potential.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
