Church distinctiveness
Hackthorn Church of England School is committed to providing the highest quality of education through an inclusive caring family environment, which nourishes the diverse talents of all children and prepares them for future success.
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.
Our ‘Hackthorn Way’ values are based on clear spiritual principles, which permeate all aspects of life.
