King’s Hawford
The school enjoys a strong academic reputation, with the vast majority of children progressing to King’s School, Worcester. There is a strong commitment to a broad, active education with a clear focus on learning outside the classroom. Early years children visit Forest School each week, swim in the covered swimming pool on site and enjoy German, dance and music lessons with specialist teachers. Excellent pastoral care, small class sizes, extended day care and a busy programme of activities ensure that the children are happy and well cared for. The school has a well-earned reputation for sport and the creative arts.
