Welcome to Hatchell Wood Primary Academy

Dear Friends,

As we are entering what should be the two week Easter holiday period we hope you are all well and coping.  Please let us know what you are doing and post on our twitter page @hatchellwood.  We love to see how the children are getting on.  If you need to contact us urgently about your child then please email keyworker@hatchellwood.com which is being monitored by the senior leaderhip team.  School will be open but we will be with the children and so wil not be answering the school phone. 

If there is an urgent safeguarding issue please phone social care direct on 01302 737777 

We will not be setting compulsory home learning activities although there is still a wealth of activities that you can do if you want in the Home learning tab. 

Mental Health

We are very aware that this is a difficult time for all of us and are wanting to find as many ways as we can of supporting you. 

Childline.org.uk has advice for children if they are feeling anxious or overwhelmed and parents on how they can support.

We also have our own Mental Health page in the Information tab.

Domestic Abuse

Domestic Abuse – If you are concerned about possible domestic abuse, either in your own house or others, there is a range of guidance here Information and support – Domestic Abuse 

Please take care and hope to see you soon.

At Hatchell Wood Primary Academy, we aim to provide the highest standards of education for our community. All the staff have high expectations of the children and themselves to ensure that each child becomes a confident, talented learner who achieves their full potential. We want your child’s time here to be memorable because they have had fun and enjoyed new experiences which has sparked their interest so that they want to do their best.

Our aim is to prepare children for the future and for lifelong learning in a diverse and ever changing world with opportunities as well as challenges. The skills they need to achieve this form our Smart Seven Skills.

We encourage the development of values and expectations based on tolerance, respect, perseverance, commitment and courtesy. We emphasise the importance of caring, sharing and learning to work and play together in a secure and happy environment; skills and attitudes which will be vital in later life.

We are a Silver Award Learning Outside the Classroom school and our vision for this is, 'every child should experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of learning and personal development whatever their age, ability and circumstances.'

We believe that parents and carers play a significant role in the education of their children and through close cooperation and communication with you we can enhance and enliven the experiences that your child will have in school. In this way we will, together, bring out the very best in your child.

As part of the Rose Learning Trust we will continue to transform futures collaboratively.

Mr J Harris
