Welcome to Haberdashers’ Hatcham Primary

Haberdashers’ Hatcham Primary is a vibrant, inclusive and high-achieving school at the heart of the New Cross community. Our children are curious, enthusiastic and proud of their learning, while our staff are dedicated, collaborative and deeply committed to making a difference every day.

As a two-form entry primary school, we combine high expectations with a strong sense of care and belonging. From the moment you walk through our doors, there is a genuine family feel built on positive relationships, shared values and a belief that every child deserves an exceptional education.

A culture of high expectations and inclusion

At Hatcham Primary, we believe every child can succeed. We are committed to providing high-quality teaching and ensuring all pupils receive the support and challenge they need to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

Our children are respectful, kind and eager to learn, and we take great pride in the positive behaviour and attitudes seen across the school. We work closely with families and the wider community to create a supportive environment where children feel safe, valued and celebrated for who they are.

Staff at Hatcham Primary are part of a welcoming and ambitious team, united by a shared commitment to inclusion, excellence and helping every child reach their full potential.

A rich and engaging learning experience

Our curriculum is broad, ambitious and designed to inspire a lifelong love of learning. We encourage children to think creatively, aim high and develop the knowledge, confidence and character needed to succeed in the future.

Reflecting the diversity of our community, learning is enriched through opportunities that develop children spiritually, morally, culturally and socially, alongside strong academic foundations. Our classrooms are nurturing, creative and purposeful spaces where children are encouraged to explore ideas, challenge themselves and develop independence.

We place great importance on developing the whole child and creating learning experiences that broaden horizons, build confidence and prepare pupils for life beyond the classroom.

A place to grow and make an impact

Hatcham Primary is a supportive and forward-thinking school where staff are encouraged to collaborate, develop their practice and continue growing professionally. We value teamwork, reflective practice and a culture where colleagues support one another to achieve the very best outcomes for children.

For staff, this is an opportunity to be part of a caring and ambitious school community, contribute to a clear vision for excellence and make a meaningful impact on the lives of children and families.
