From the Hucklow Primary School
It is a pleasure to welcome you to Hucklow Primary School on behalf of the Executive Headteacher. I sincerely hope you enjoy browsing the site and find the content helpful. If you're looking for term dates, want to see what's going on at school, or just want to learn more about life at Hucklow Primary School, the website should be helpful. Hucklow and Beck Primary Schools have merged to form Cascade Academy, a Multi Academy Trust. The schools share a Trusteeship Board, but each has its own Governing Body and Executive Headteacher. Additionally, I collaborate with Whiteways and Owler Brook primaries. This is an exciting time as the four neighbourhood schools start to collaborate. Every week, I will spend some time at each school, so I will be accessible if you ever need to speak with me. The schools will participate in a variety of enjoyable and engaging activities throughout the year. Our goal is to offer all students a well-rounded education that is of the highest calibre. We want kids to like going to school and being enthusiastic about what they are learning. Our curriculum is themed, and each term's theme changes. In order to make the learning process easy, all subjects link to a theme whenever possible. The experience of a visit or a special visitor coming into school brings learning to life. We genuinely believe that education is a journey, and we strive to give kids meaningful experiences that help them learn and grow. Should you wish to discuss anything further please do not hesitate to contact the school.
