A warm welcome to Framlingham Sir Robert Hitcham's CEVAP School . We hope that you find this website informative and that it helps to give you a sense of what life is like here at our wonderful school. At Sir Robert Hitcham's we recognise that each child is unique, with their own set of gifts and talents. As educators, it is our duty to nurture and develop them all.
Our school is described by parents and visitors as having a happy, friendly and family feel. As experienced staff we pride ourselves on knowing the children well, in order to be able to plan, support, inspire and challenge them to be their very best selves.
We are privileged to have a wonderfully committed and experienced team of teaching and support staff , strengthened by our parents , our dedicated Governors and the local community . This means that all of our children should be able to go out into the world secure in the values that are at the heart of our Christian school.
