Information about the school

On 12 June 2019, the Governing Boards of both Hadlow and Shipbourne Schools voted unanimously in favour of federating the two schools. As of 2 September 2019, the two schools formed the Bourne Partnership, with Mrs Terri Daters as Headteacher at Shipbourne and Miss Nicole Chapman as Headteacher at Hadlow. At a quorate meeting on 2 September 2019, opened by Jude Johnson of The Education People, the two Governing Boards were dissolved and a joint federation Governing Board was inaugurated.

Hadlow Primary School is a proud partner of the Bourne Partnership; a federation of two small schools with unique charm and character. This mutually supportive collaboration strengthens the opportunities, learning and development for our children and staff.

Our school is a small, one-form entry setting, with a family feel; serving the local area and children further afield. We are fully inclusive to all children’s needs and ensure that every member of our school community feels appreciated and valued. We pride ourselves on the nurturing and positive relationships that we form with our children and their families; the proof can be seen by the kind and generous interactions that take place on the school gate, daily. Our mission statement at Hadlow Primary School is simple: Happiness, Progress and Success!

We strive to make our school a happy place for each and every child. Our staff go the extra mile to nurture, support and value the individual strengths and needs of our children. Pupil wellbeing is at the heart of everything that we do; supported by Zones of Regulation, peer massage, daily mile, allotment time and many other routines to enhance social and emotional development. When our pupils feel safe and happy in school, they have the motivation to learn and the confidence to take risks; this enables them to make good progress socially, emotionally and academically.

We deliver a diverse, engaging and enriching curriculum that focuses on the progression of skills, knowledge and vocabulary. We have high expectations for all pupils, including those with SEND, holding the belief that every child can make great progress, when they are supported, scaffolded, encouraged and challenged in the right way. Personal development opportunities enrich the school curriculum, with purposeful experiences embedded throughout, preparing children for the next stage of their development, as citizens of modern Britain. Progress, no matter how small, is a moment of pride in our school.

Success is inevitable when we have a school full of happy and motivated children that are inspired by their curriculum and their experiences. We celebrate success with a smile, no matter how big or how small. We reward effort and achievement and foster a ‘Growth Mind-set’ within our pupils. Pupils learn to show recognition and pride in their achievements. Success, at Hadlow Primary School, is limitless!

Community is at our core and every stakeholder, whether near or far, is integral to the continuing happiness, progress and success of Hadlow Primary School.
