At Hydesville we focus on achievement not just attainment. Education is about far, far more than what happens inside the four walls of the classroom, and we are very fortunate at Hydesville to have staff that recognise this.

Certainly one of the joys of teaching is drawing that academic, creative, enterprising, sporting potential out of pupils.

I strongly believe that education is about individuals and Hydesville succeeds because it is small enough to make sure that your child's individual strengths and needs are known by everyone at the school. No pupil is ever lost in the crowd, everyone is valued for who they are and all are expected to participate fully in the academic and extra-curricular life of the school.

Pupils at Hydesville learn that much of life's successes are governed by attitude rather than innate intelligence and that a strong work ethic will take them far in life. Our pupils of all ages also understand that it is important to have aspirations and set oneself demanding targets rather than easy ones
Hydesville achieves academic success, but this is balanced by the development of the whole pupil into a well rounded individual who can take part in and appreciate music, sport, drama and their place in the wider world.

We welcome all pupils of any faith in the belief that we all share common ideals and morals.
I hope you will give me the opportunity to show you around the school and to meet the staff and children.

Whatever their age, give your child the "Hydesville Headstart"!
