Headteacher's Welcome

Hunslet Moor is a community that as a Head teacher, I am very proud to be part of. I have worked at Hunslet Moor Primary School as joining as a teacher in 2008. I then progressed to being a Deputy Head teacher until taking over the Headship back in 2013. Throughout my Headship, we have always strived to evolve to meet the needs of the community we serve. Hunslet Moor, is a community of diversity and this is a dimension we are very proud of. For example, to try and illustrate, at our last Census, 37 languages were captured. We know we are the choice of families who are very established in the community and also those new to the area. We are well experienced in meeting the meeting the needs of children for whom English is an Additional Language, a range of SEND needs and also pupils who show the potential to achieve greater depth.

From 2018, the school has very much benefited from a significant £4.5 million expansion and re- configuration. Thanks to this, we are able to provide inclusive learning environments that can meet the needs of pupils. Working in partnership with parents, families and the wider community is very important to us. We know by doing this, we can achieve every child’s potential. We welcome parents approaching school to talk with us.

Core to the Hunslet Moor values is to instil importance and pride in the values of mutual respect. This runs through every aspect of the school’s ethos and also the emphasis upon developing all children’s resilience, motivation and ambition and in doing so, strive to achieve a sense of pride in individual and collective achievements.

Our approach to the Hunslet Moor curriculum is to ‘Ignite, Immerse, and Inspire’. At Hunslet Moor, our curriculum is designed to ignite curiosity, immerse children in deep, meaningful experiences, and inspire them to become confident, creative, and compassionate individuals who value the world of education and dream big for their future.

We hope you find our website informative and a gateway to our learning community. If you would like any further information about our school, please do not hesitate in getting in touch through the contact section of our website.

Kind regards,
Miss Hannah Darley, Headteacher
