"Our Son Loves Hawes Primary"

Our son is in his final year at Hawes Primary and we couldn't be happier with the school. The teachers are excellent, the facilities are top-notch, and the outdoor learning opportunities are fantastic. The 'Everyone a Leader - Everyone a Learner' ethos really resonates with us and we feel our son is being thoroughly prepared for secondary school.

"Some Great Aspects, Some Room for Improvement"

We've had a mixed experience at Hawes Primary. Our daughter loves the school and the teachers are generally very supportive, but we've had some issues with communication and the school's response to our child's special needs. The facilities are great, especially the sports hall, and the PTFA events are always well-attended. We're hoping the school will continue to improve in these areas.

"Our Daughter Thrives at Hawes Primary"

We moved to the area and were a bit worried about our daughter adjusting to a new school, but Hawes Primary has been amazing. The staff are so welcoming and the facilities are excellent, especially the outdoor play area. Our daughter loves the 'Everyone a Leader - Everyone a Learner' ethos and is really excelling in her learning. We're so grateful!

"Hawes Primary is a Hidden Gem"

We were a bit hesitant about sending our kids to a small school, but Hawes Primary exceeded all our expectations. The school's commitment to the Dalesplay Nursery and the Parent, Teachers and Families Association (PTFA) really made us feel part of the community. Our kids loved the sports afternoons and the teachers were always supportive and communicative.
