Welcome from the Headteacher

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 

• equipped with the skills to be able to contribute to making a better world.

East Hunsbury Primary is a school where every child is encouraged to succeed and knows they are valued and cared for. We set high expectations for all our pupils, and we are proud of their achievements - academic, artistic and sporting alike. But we also believe that laughter, kindness and a sense of belonging matter just as much. When children are happy and feel safe, they learn more confidently.

Our rich and carefully designed curriculum is strengthened by excellent pastoral support and guided by our school values:

Be Kind. Work Hard. Believe.

These values are at the heart of everything we do.

We are also very proud to be nationally recognised as 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.”

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.
