Our Partnership with Parents/Carers is very important!

Hurdsfield Primary School has a simple aim to ensure that every learner receives nothing short of the best!  We are a truly inclusive school that provides a challenge for all to ensure that everyone can not only achieve their best but aspires and can achieve even more.  Below is a summary of what we feel makes Hurdsfield Primary School and Nursery the number one choice for parents/carers.  The results are based on 60 responses to our survey.

Here is what our parents/carers said about our school in their recent survey (March 2020):

Some of the comments made by parents/carers:

• “I truly believe that all members of staff are passionate about each and every child in this school. There is so much positive energy which shines through the children. Teachers have high expectations and expect nothing less than their best. This is the happiest school in Macclesfield and would recommend Hurdsfield to any parent wanting to give their child the very best school experience possible.”
• “My child was at another school previous to starting here a few months ago, he has excelled both here and at home even more so than his old school could not be more pleased with his progress”

• “The school has dealt with everything perfectly. I feel my child is fully supported by the school and they have his best interests at heart.”
