From the Hawthorn Tree School
Welcome to Hawthorn Tree School, we would like to say. The school first opened its doors in 1968 as a four-class infant school. We now have a primary school with fourteen classes for students in Reception through Year 6. Please listen to what our employees and students have to say about Hawthorn Tree. Regardless of where they begin, it is our goal to nurture each child and enable them to achieve great things. Additionally, we strongly believe that it is our responsibility as educators to help kids develop into resilient, self-assured, and well-rounded adults who can tell right from wrong. Through the Challenge Partners programme, the completely inclusive Hawthorn Tree School collaborates closely with schools not just in Boston but also in Lincolnshire, the East Midlands, and other parts of the country. We think that it's important to both share and learn from other excellent institutions. If you'd like to come for a tour, please get in touch. I am eager to have you visit Hawthorn Tree School.
