We provide a rich, ambitious learning environment, both inside and outside the classroom. High standards of behaviour contribute to the success of the school as well as the children being afforded opportunities to grow and flourish through a curriculum that embraces varying viewpoints and beliefs, encourages debate and discussion, reflects cultural diversity as well as fundamental British Values; giving our children a strong basic skill set that equips them for life-long learning beyond Hinguar. We also value the importance of a broad and balanced education, where the talents of each child are recognised and celebrated, thereby enabling them to grow in confidence, develop a sense of responsibility and achieve their personal goals.
Our extremely dedicated and supportive staff work hard to provide the best opportunities for all our children in a safe and happy environment. Together with supportive parents and governors, all the above contributes greatly to the success of our school.
