From the Hunsbury Park Primary School
We are quite proud of our school because, once again, a recent Ofsted inspection deemed us to be a "good school." Our inclusive mindset always strives to create a setting where kids love learning, gain confidence, and succeed. In a setting that encourages critical thinking and learning, both children and adults are urged to behave well and respect one another. We put a lot of effort into spreading the school's motto, "Working together to be the best we can be." We hope that this website's richness of information about what we do throughout the year will be helpful to you whether you are a current parent or caretaker or new to our school. Hunsbury Park Primary School was first established in 1988 as Camp Hill Lower School and changed its name to Community Primary School in September 2003. In addition to The Hive, we have 14 classrooms, five shared practical spaces, an ICT suite, a library, a hall, and two studios that may be merged to create one enormous room (our Designated Special Provision for Social, Emotional and Mental Health). We appreciate you visiting our website, and we are excited to welcome you and your kid.
