Hackthorn School

"Pupils all speak positively about how much they enjoy and value being a part of the school and this is evident in their very smart appearance, and their impeccable manners." - Ofsted 2014

"Pupils have exceptionally positive attitudes to learning and act responsibly in managing their own behaviour and helping with that of others in the school." - Ofsted 2014

‘Pupils readily show that they have the highest motivation to achieve their absolute best. They thoroughly enjoy showing how well they have done in the weekly achievement assembly.." - Ofsted 2014

"The school promotes pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural awareness exceptionally well and the promotion of health through sport has a high profile." - Ofsted 2014

We are delighted to welcome you to Hackthorn C of E Primary School’s website. We hope as you browse the site it will give you an insight into the life of our school, our ethos and our vision.

Recognised by Ofsted as ‘Outstanding’ three times in a row we believe that our school is a truly unique and special place.

So what makes our school so special?

We are a small Church of England Primary School set in the beautiful rural village of Hackthorn, just outside the city of Lincoln.

As a church school our faith is important and we follow the Christian values in all we do: the way that we treat each other, the way that we look for opportunities to help those in need and the practical application of our values. We believe that everyone has a part to play as a responsible member of not only our learning environment but in our local community and wider society.

We know that happy children make fantastic learners. Our aim is to provide an environment that is conducive to making happy learners. The child is at the heart of everything we do and we take great pleasure in nurturing our pupils and celebrating their individual achievements both within and outside the school environment. The size of our school allows us to know each pupil thoroughly and to foster a friendly, family atmosphere.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at school for any further information or to arrange a visit so that you can experience ‘the Hackthorn way!’
