About Us

Hawthorns Primary school opened in 1977, originally as a First School for children aged 5 -8. In 2015, the school expanded to become a one-form entry primary school and in February 2024, Hawthorns became the 9th school to join Schoolsworks Academy Trust. The school also has its own nursery for children aged 2 -5. This provision feeds into the school and supports excellent transition and early learning experiences.

This small one-form entry primary school lies in beautiful grounds where nature is
abundant and so there are plenty of opportunities for children to take their learning outdoors and we actively encourage this. We are fortunate to have our own enclosed
pond area and forest school site as well as a small field and separate playgrounds.
