Welcome to East Hunsbury Primary School
I am very proud to welcome you to the extraordinary school that is East Hunsbury Primary School – a school where every child flourishes and brilliance is our minimum standard. We are a vibrant, two-form entry school with a 50-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.
Our mission is simple - we want children to leave us:
- knowing their future choices and opportunities
- prepared for the next stage of their educational journey and
- equipped with the skills to be able to contribute to making a better world.
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, artistic 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 pastoral provision and our school values of:
Be Kind. Work hard. Believe.
flow throughout our school.
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.

East Hunsbury Primary School is officially the KINDEST school in the country. The Kind School Award is awarded to a school that is creating and embedding a culture of kindness, putting kindness and wellbeing at the heart of what they do.
This is what one of the judges said about our school: Reading East Hunsbury Primary's submission was a genuine joy. It wasn't just the words on the page - it was the feeling between them. You could sense a school where kindness isn't an act but a rhythm, pulsing through every relationship. Children, staff, families, and the local community — all bound by a quiet, powerful commitment to care. East Hunsbury isn’t just teaching kindness. They’re living it. And that changes everything.”

Who We Are
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.
