Welcome to Hartington Church of England Primary School.  Thank you for visiting our website which is constantly being up-dated to keep you informed of current events.

Our Motto is ‘Education at the Heart of the Community’, in which we fully believe, with our children taking part and leading many social events both in school and the community, whilst working hand in hand with our key partners, which include the Diocese, National Park Ranger Service, Music Partnership and Youth Sports Trust.

Our school is located in the rural village of Hartington in the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire and we have achieved ‘Ambassador School’ status. We also have links  to the local secondary schools to support and promote a smooth transition between key stage 2 and key stage 3.  At the end of Key Stage 2 our parents make an informed choice as to which secondary school their child/children will attend in which the school will support if a request is made.

Unfortunately we no longer work with the small school in Uganda we had established a link with through our personal relationship with a member of  the village due to her moving to Australia with the current netball team she plays for. However the school hopes to re-establish a connection with an author/artist who has worked with the school in the past. The content of her books makes reference to pollution in the worlds oceans around Africa where she was born and still has family and supports the environmental work of the school.

We regard each child as unique, with individual needs. Our enthusiastic and highly motivated team are committed to giving each child the highest standard of care, guidance and support which is delivered with the Schools Christian Vision and Values at its heart.

We offer skilled teaching and a stimulating and creative curriculum with high expectations, including the social, moral, spiritual and cultural well being of the whole child. We aim to help children develop a sense of self worth and confidence, whilst being self critical and taking increasing responsibility for their own learning and leading them on the journey to becoming a valued member of an ever changing multicultural society.

We hope our website will help give you a flavour of the life and work of the school, and of the caring and welcoming atmosphere you will find here.

If you would like any further information or you have any questions you need answering please don’t hesitate to contact us by e-mail or telephone. Visits are always welcome.

Visits from prospective families are encouraged  and we look forward to hearing from you.
