Welcome to East Hunsbury Primary School

KathPenningtonI am very proud to welcome you to the extraordinary school that is East Hunsbury Primary School. We are a vibrant, two-form entry school with a 47-place Specialist Provision. We are a family-focussed, inclusive school who always puts the children at the centre of everything we do and every decision we make.

East Hunsbury Primary is a school that is dedicated to ensuring every child experiences success and feels valued and cared for. Although we have the highest of expectations for all of our pupils, and academic and sporting achievement are very important to us, we also believe that laughter and kindness are essential because when children are happy and feel safe, learning is easier. We have an exceptional curriculum which is complemented by our fantastic welfare and nurture provision.

I hope that our website gives you a flavour of what we are all about but it is in our school where the magic really happens so I strongly recommend that you come and visit us – our door is always open.

Kathryn Pennington

Headteacher

Be kind. Work hard. Believe.

Our School Values

Our school is a stimulating and welcoming community in which all children and adults feel valued, able to contribute and where relationships are based on mutual respect.

Children are active participants in the learning process and are provided with experiences that maximise their involvement, autonomy and independence.

We are an inclusive community where pupils are offered opportunities to grow together, learn together, laugh together and celebrate together.

We equip our children with the skills they need to be happy and successful in life, nurturing in them a true and life-long love of learning.

We are responsible for the development of the whole child. We recognise differing needs and endeavour to meet these needs, maximising the opportunities for children to explore their physical, social, emotional and intellectual potential.

We are a community that respects and celebrates diversity.

One School. One Community. Learning and Growing Together
