About the school
“Our children are fantastic, polite, hardworking and fun to be with, and as such, Hardwick Primary School is a wonderful place to work. We have a strong “CARE” ethos, where all staff strive hard to foster positive relationships with children, parents and visitors.”
Established school - open since before 2004. Became an academy in January 2018, continuing the school that was already there.
