Welcome to Hurlford Primary School and Early Childhood Centre.

At Hurlford, we believe learning and teaching are at the heart of an effective establishment. At Hurlford, we seek to create a positive, learning environment developing a sense of shared purpose and community. We encourage all of our children to contribute positively to our school community and take on roles and responsibilities within our school.

We strive to spark a love of learning in our children so that they fully engage with experiences which can change and develop them. We recognise the importance of high quality teaching, taught by  staff who are professional, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and skilled. As an establishment, we are committed to self evaluation and continuous improvement to ensure the highest quality education for all our children. We support our children to be leaders of their own learning and encourage their voice within our school.

We recognise the importance of positive partnership with parents, local and wider community in supporting our children and enhancing our curriculum.

Hurlford Primary school was inspected by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate in May, 2011, highlighting the following:

• Improvements in performance – very good

• Learners’ experiences – very good

• Meeting learning needs – very good

• The Curriculum – very good

• Improvements through self evaluation – very good

I hope you will find our website helpful in preparing you and your child for their time at Hurlford Primary. I look forward to meeting you and your child. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
