Hodnet Primary School proudly joined The 318 Education Trust in February 2024.

Our rural village location enables us to have strong local community links and a deep sense of pride in our beautiful setting with extensive grounds in which to learn and grow.

We are a happy and successful school where pupils achieve well. We take great pride in our exciting, caring and welcoming school. Our staff team is constantly in pursuit of excellence; we are a well experienced, dedicated and passionate team who set high expectations for our pupils and have the wellbeing and safeguarding of all at the heart of all that we do. Ensuring that every child is happy and given the opportunities to achieve their potential is our priority.

We aim to equip our pupils with the necessary social and academic skills and knowledge that they need to be lifelong learners, have a passion for learning and an inquiring mind. Our school community prioritises well-being and we ensure all pupils and staff have respect for themselves and others and that we celebrate difference and individuality. We are committed to enriching the curriculum for our children through a wide range of enriching experiences, clubs, local and national visits, competitions, community work and collaboration with other schools.

Our children take pride in their work, are kind and caring towards others and well behaved. We recognise achievements and celebrate success together.

Hodnet Primary School aims to provide the best possible education, recognising that every child is special and has individual needs and abilities. We apply our values, Be Ready, Be Respectful and Be Safe, to all situations to enable our school to be a happy and welcoming place for all children to learn, grow and succeed.
