About

I would like to warmly welcome you to our happy school, on behalf of myself, staff and governors. When I first visited our school I was struck by the special family atmosphere, which sees the school as the heart of the local community. Although this website will give you a flavour of the school, a visit is often the best way to see what our school is really about.

We are a smaller than average primary school, which prides itself on the care, wellbeing and education of every child. I hope that our website will provide you with a useful and informative picture of our school, whether you are a current parent looking for information or a new parent seeking the right school for your child.

We are proud to be a Church of England School as we nurture our children, through a strong Christian ethos, promoting key values in all areas of school life. This is enhanced through our close partnership with our village church. At Hopton, we recognise the uniqueness of the Christian faith, growing and learning together in Gods love.

As an inclusive school, we warmly welcome children, families and staff of all faiths and none.

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