From the Hopton Primary School
Welcome to the website for Hopton Primary. I hope you are able to use the site's navigation tools to obtain the details you need to learn more about our school. The fact that OFSTED gave our school an exceptional rating is indeed wonderful, but there is much more to our school than this. Our goal is to enable each child to achieve their maximum level of accomplishment before requesting a bit more. We have created a setting where your child can feel comfortable, secure, and enjoy themselves. The close interaction we have with parents and carers strengthens our school. Even while we might not always agree, we always listen and seek for answers to any problems or needs. Every decision we make will always be based on the needs of each individual child. As a result, we invite parents and carers to get in touch with us if they have questions or concerns. As the head teacher at Hopton Primary, I am proud of our institution and place a high priority on the value of teamwork in all facets of the institution. I think that as a community school, we can thrive and grow as a unit because we are stronger when we work together. The children and staff in school constantly amaze me with their commitment and the quality of their work; I hope that in this site you are able to see some of that effort and success which everyone at Hopton contributes to and which makes us an outstanding school.
