Haseltine Primary School children playing chess

Our School

Haseltine Primary is a community school where our children are the most enthusiastic and inquisitive learners. Haseltine educates children from 3 to 11 years old.

Our Nursery

Our Nursery has 30 morning and 30 afternoon places. It is easily accessible from an entrance, which is to the right of the main school entrance.

Our Live Music

At Haseltine Primary School we value music because it is a powerful, unique form of communication that can change the way pupils feel, think and act.

The Hub

At Haseltine we provide care for all our families as well as for all our children. The Hub is our place that helps to do that – come and visit us to find out more.

Haseltine's Vision

Welcome to Haseltine Primary School

A message from The Executive Headteacher & the Headteacher

At Haseltine we aim to create a happy school where the learning atmosphere is relaxed and conducive to high attainment. We believe that children learn in many different ways so we provide opportunities for them to explore, create, research, and investigate. It’s important that they find out for themselves rather than being told.

We believe that every child should learn the skills for life long learning and be supported to develop as good citizens who contribute fully to their community.

For the children to reach their full potential we need to work in partnership with you as parents, carers and colleagues. Enabling children to be the best learners they can be is important for their life chances.

Our school works in partnership with Fairlawn Primary School. Staff, governors and children work together to harness each other’s strengths and expertise so that children are offered the best possible education.

We welcome you to our lovely school so you can see for yourself how we learn together. Please contact the school office to make a time to visit. We will be delighted to share our school with you. Alternatively come along to one of our bi weekly Parent Tours (you can find the dates for the tours on the home page if you scroll down to the bottom) Please call the school to book a slot on a tour as spaces are limited.

Safeguarding/Operation Encompass Statement

At Haseltine, safeguarding our children is our number one priority. If children are not safe and happy they will not learn. We work with parents to make sure our children are safe at home and at school. When we appoint new members of staff there is a rigorous process of checks to ensure they are the right people to work with our community. If we are not sure, we don’t appoint. If we do appoint, we never stop checking to see if each of our colleagues are doing the right thing by our children. We have a clear whistleblowing policy. All staff at our school are familiar with the policy and we always follow procedures if we suspect a member of staff isn’t doing the right thing by our children.

We have a very active pupil parliament and all our children know they are listened to if they are worried or upset about anything. We all know that we do not keep secrets in our school and we all listen to each other and support each other.

We also work closely with Operation Encompass which directly connects the police with schools to secure better outcomes for children who are subject or witness to police-attended incidents of domestic abuse. Rapid provision of support within the school environment means children are better safeguarded against the short-, medium- and long-term effects of domestic abuse. This enables us to support you and your children immediately after an incident.

Please do read our safeguarding policy. If you have any further questions about safeguarding, please do come and speak to us.

Aims and Values of the School

The Haseltine Tree

At Haseltine we know that every child is a success story; we also want every one of our children to become life long learners and the best citizens that they can be.

We have 3 core values here that feed into everything we do:

Excellence,
Self-Belief,
Resilience.

The Haseltine Tree

We also have our 5 core Learning to Learn skills that we feel are crucial for our children:

Reciprocity,
Responsibility,
Reflection,
Readiness
Resourcefulness.

Alongside these 5 core skills are lots of other skills, aptitudes and qualities that our children, teachers and parents believe to be incredibly important. The tree represents all of these and underpins everything we believe at Haseltine School.
