Welcome to Hauxton Primary School. We are a small, friendly school with amazing children who are polite, engaged, curious about the world and confident when finding out more and a caring and dedicated staff. I am proud to lead such a happy school where our children always come first.

Hauxton Primary School is set within spacious grounds providing wonderful opportunities for outdoor play, learning experiences and a range of extra-curricular activities.  Being a small school affords us many opportunities that can be difficult to find in larger schools as we have a higher numer of staff supporting your child than most schools.  I understand the choice of school is a critical one, especially when looking for a provision to meet the unique needs of your child.

At Hauxton Primary School we aim to support our children to be socially, emotionally and academically equipped to approach the opportunities and challenges of the future. We do this through teaching children about our core values of ... Courage, Aspiration, Respect, Engagement

Hauxton pupils CARE and learn how to:

•  value themselves and appreciate one another
•  move and think more freely
•  be good citizens, earning a valued place in society

The Power of Small Schools Research consistently shows that small schools offer a wide range of benefits—not just for children, but also for teachers and the communities they serve. From improved academic outcomes to stronger relationships and increased student engagement, small schools can create environments where everyone thrives. Small schools provide a learning experience that is more personal, responsive, and community-oriented than their larger counterparts. Here are some of the key advantages:

1. Improved Student Achievement - Children in small schools tend to perform better academically. Smaller class sizes allow for more personalized instruction and greater attention to individual needs.

2. Stronger Sense of Belonging - In a small school setting, children are more likely to feel known, valued, and supported. This sense of community is particularly impactful for vulnerable children who may otherwise feel overlooked.

3. Individualized Attention - With fewer children per class, teachers can tailor their instruction and provide more targeted support, leading to improved learning outcomes.

4. Closer Relationships - Small schools often nurture strong connections between teachers, children, parents, and the local community. These close relationships are key to fostering a positive and supportive educational environment.

5. Flexibility and Agility -Smaller schools can adapt quickly to changing needs and circumstances, making them more responsive to children and families alike.

6. Empowered Student Voice - In small schools, children often have more opportunities to take on leadership roles and contribute to school decisions—enhancing their sense of ownership and engagement.

7. Greater Participation in Activities -With fewer children, there is less competition for spots in sports teams, clubs, and other extracurriculars. As a result, participation rates tend to be higher, contributing to children' personal and academic development.

8. Safer Learning Environments -Small schools are frequently perceived as safer places to learn, fostering an atmosphere where children feel secure and supported.

9. Inclusive, Mixed-Ability Classrooms - Children are more likely to be grouped in mixed-ability settings, helping to avoid low expectations and promoting a more inclusive approach to teaching and learning.

In Summary, small schools such as ours offer a unique and powerful model of education—one where children are seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
