WE ARE AND OUTSTANDING CO-EDUCATIONAL DAY SCHOOL AND MUSIC ACADEMY FOR STUDENTS AGED 11-19

Education has a very long history in Eye and the surrounding villages. The grammar school was founded in 1451 and there are indications of the presence of a school in Eye even before then. Hartismere carries on this tradition of very high levels of academic success and the school is traditional in the approach it takes to young people. Our motto "discamus ut serviamus" suggests our core values and ethos: the children both learn and serve. They receive a superb academic education which is rounded by opportunities to give to and to become even more a part of our community. The Hartismere Hundred began as an attempt by students, staff and friends of the school to support 100 different charities: in 2015 the school achieved this aim and the number continues to grow. Students often lead in activities to support local, national and international charities. In addition to helping our children to develop as compassionate and thoughtful human beings these activities are great fun and help to develop a spirit of camaraderie and friendship.

Hartismere was Suffolk's first Academy. It is also a national Teaching School.
