St Hugh’s School
At St Hugh’s School we are passionate about providing the widest range of opportunities for every child.Underpinning what we do is the care and support needed for every pupil to thrive throughout their education and wherever their aspirations take them. As part of their learning journey, we prioritise wellbeing, happiness and exciting learning. With Nursery provision from age two right through to Year 8, we are privileged to be able to shape the young lives of so many children. From day one, even our very youngest children benefit from specialist teaching in French, Music and PE, as well as Swimming in our heated indoor pool. The ability of our Year 8 pupils to work independently can be directly traced from the excitement of our ‘Independent Iguanas’ in Reception –the foundations laid in Early Years are the foundations for the education that is offered throughout the school and this culminates in their Independent Project Qualification. This is a fascinating opportunity to explore and research a topic about which they are passionate and introduces the skills they will take with them into their next school. Our children talk routinely about being curious, about teamwork and being reflective. These attributes stand them in brilliant stead for their future and we are dedicated to developing the whole self. With so much more to offer, we firmly believe the best way to get a feel for our School and Nursery is to come and visit us. n To book a visit, please email office@st-hughs.lincs.sch.uk, or alternatively, call 01526 352169 or see www.st-hughs.lincs.sch.uk.
