Welcome to Hugh Sexey Church of England Middle School. It is a real honour to be the Headteacher of this vibrant and caring school community. Whether you are visiting us for the first time or are already part of our school family, I hope our website gives you a sense of the values, warmth and ambition that define us.
We are a very popular oversubscribed Middle School, attracting many families from outside of our catchment area; this is because parents and carers tell us that they prefer the three-tiered system and feel it promotes a more effective education for their child.
At Hugh Sexey Church of England Middle School, we are proud to be a happy and busy community, where every pupil is known, valued, and supported to flourish both academically and personally. We believe that all pupils deserve the very best education and we work hard to provide an environment where children feel safe, supported, and challenged.
We recognise and understand that children are brilliantly different and that they learn in a multitude of ways, our aim is to develop these attributes, raise their expectations and provide the support and challenge necessary for lifelong success.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
