School profile

West Hoathly CofE Primary School

We are a small village school set in a rural area of West Sussex. We currently have 4 classes, some of which are mixed age. The culture of our school is representative of our Christian values of love, hope and forgiveness. Children are polite and well-mannered and the school team are very supportive to all who attend. We use a therapeutic and restorative approach, with a kindness and empathy. Our links with St. Margaret's Church means that we have regular visits from our local vicar as well as taking the children down to the church for special services throughout the year.

About our school experience

Details
We offer a range of experiences which will enhance any school based placements. Our teachers are very comfortable with people observing their lessons and welcome anyone into their classrooms. There would also be opportunities to work with children in small groups or on a 1:1 basis. We are happy to tailor school visits to the requirement of the trainee and they are welcome to participate in all aspects of school life including a trip to forest school or going on a sporting event.
