About Sir Robert Hitcham Church of England Voluntary Aided School

Sir Robert Hitcham CEVAP is a one form entry school, set on the edge of the village of Debenham. The School is set in grounds that include a forest school area, separate Dining Hall and large playing field. In 2016 the village library moved to take up a space within the School. 

As a Church of England Primary School, our School values, policies and relationships are based on Christian values. We celebrate significant Christian festivals in our parish church of St Mary Magdalene, where children also participate in a range of activities to support the curriculum. Through our RE curriculum children develop a deeper understanding of Christianity and also learn about other world faiths. 

We are proud of our children’s achievements in their academic learning, but also celebrate success in sport, the arts, and the development of personal and social skills. Our children are very active and we offer many opportunities for them to participate in sporting events at School and in competition with other schools. 

We encourage our pupils to take on responsibilities within the School and are particularly proud of the way the older children work with the younger classes. When we take our classes on visits, the children are complimented on their behaviour and interesting questions.

We have a hard working, long-serving and dedicated staff team. Children are largely taught in single year groups, but on occasions they may be offered support or challenge by working with another year group. Over the course of the year the curriculum is enriched with a range of activity days and special curriculum weeks. 

We are proud of our close work with our wider school community. Parents are encouraged to join in with a range of activities over the year and we provide opportunities for families to participate in special events and meals. Our School governors can be seen helping at events, supporting in classes or working with staff to monitor learning. We work closely with Debenham High School to ensure that our pupils are well prepared for the transition to secondary education. 

Sir Robert Hitcham CEVA Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  The successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check with children’s barred list information.  This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974; applicants must declare all unspent convictions and some spent convictions.  In line with Keeping Children Safe in Education, an online search will be carried out on shortlisted candidates as part of our safer recruitment checks. Sir Robert Hitcham CEVA Primary School welcomes diversity.
