"Some Room for Improvement"

We're generally happy with the school, but we've experienced some issues with communication and organisation. The teachers are lovely, and the children seem to enjoy the learning experiences. However, we feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about events and activities.

"A Real Community Feeling"

We left Hawkedon a few years ago, but we still keep in touch with the friends we made there and attend events. The school's focus on community and relationships is truly unique, and we feel that our children received a well-rounded education that prepared them for secondary school.
