My child loves attending Hatfield Community Free School! The teachers are supportive, the classrooms are engaging, and the Thrive House Points system is a great way to encourage good behavior. I've seen my child grow in confidence and make wonderful friends.

"Good school, but some areas for improvement"

We're generally happy with Hatfield Community Free School, but I do think there could be more support for parents in terms of communication and updates. The school's approach to education is engaging, and my child loves attending. However, I've had some issues with the school's administration and organization.

"A great school experience for my child"

We were very happy with Hatfield Community Free School when my child was a pupil there. The school's values of kindness and respect were evident in everything they did, and the staff were always approachable and supportive. However, I do think the school could improve in terms of communication with parents.
