Hillcroft is a Primary school for children aged 4-11 years of age with a Nursery catering for children from 3 years of age. Our dedicated and enthusiastic staff aim to provide the best education for all our children by ensuring they are supported, engaged and inspired in their learning.

At Hillcroft we believe in setting the highest possible standards in everything we do and ensuring our children become the best they can be. We strive for our children to experience a wide range of opportunities to develop their love of school and learning. This love of learning is also developed through our embedded STRONG values of Self control, Tolerance, Resilience, awareness of Others, No one left out and Growing friendships.

We are incredibly proud of our children at Hillcroft and delighted that our children see our school as a fun place to be and where they feel safe and valued. As a school, our main aim of every day is to ensure that Hillcroft is engaging and energising yet sets clear boundaries and expectations for our children to adhere to.

Choosing the right school for your child is an important and often difficult decision so we hope that this website gives you a flavour of what life at Hillcroft is like. Should you wish to, we would be delighted if you arranged a visit to the school to see our hard working, dedicated staff and eager, happy children in action in the classroom.
