Halley House School
We are a state-funded school and teach pupils from Reception up to Year 6, accepting children from 4 to 11 year olds.
We opened our doors in September 2015. We are a non-selective, non-denominational, co-educational primary free school and welcome children from all backgrounds. We are a one-form entry school, which means that we have one class per year group. Halley House School is wedged between Dalston and Stoke Newington, in London.
Our belief is that children learn best when they are happy and excited by what’s happening in the classroom; excellent achievements will be a by-product of the education on offer and not the only goal. Our aim is to instil a love of learning in our pupils and provide a solid foundation to build on, in the transition to secondary education and beyond.
Every pupil at our school is encouraged to achieve their maximum potential within a happy, nurturing environment.
We are part of Bellevue Place Education Trust (BPET), a multi-academy trust which supports free primary schools across London and Berkshire.
