ABOUT US
Working together in partnership with parents/ carers, we aim to ensure that our pupils receive a truly great education and develop the confidence and love of learning that will allow them to take their place in the world as the responsible citizens of the future.
Hinchley Wood Primary is a 3-form entry school (i.e. 3 classes per year group) located on Claygate Lane. We are a school rooted firmly in our local community. We are situated on a large site adjacent to Hinchley Wood Secondary School, where most of our pupils transition after their primary experience. We are proud to be part of the Hinchley Wood Learning Partnership (HWLP) who we work with closely to ensure high quality provision for our pupils.
Our primary school consists of multiple one storey buildings situated on a large green site. Our extensive site means that children benefit from a number of areas to play and learn. We have a large sports field, artificial grassed areas for sports and various playgrounds, separating the infants and the juniors.
A stimulating curriculum is at the heart of everything we do in our busy learning environment. We believe that every day provides an abundance of learning opportunities. We want the children to strive for excellence in every aspect of our creative curriculum and to think for themselves, exercise their imaginations and enjoy their learning.
Underpinning our academic successes are the high standards of our pupils’ behaviour and their excellent attendance, both of which require the support and involvement of our parents/carers, which we actively encourage.
