Description
Hunter Hall School is Independent Primary school in Cumbria for kids aged 3 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
Hunter Hall, a Penrith primary school, is an independent school in Cumbria for boys and girls aged 3 to 11 years, where we offer a different approach to education. The dedicated subject specialist teachers work together to ensure every child reaches their potential. They’re a small school that achieves big results. Hunter Hall school has got an excellent single year class size ratio, so our children receive the time, attention and guidance they need to flourish. The 11 year olds consistently achieve outstanding examination results year-on-year and, because Hunter Hall primary school is standalone, the leavers go on to wide range of high quality secondary schools across the county and beyond.Come and visit, meet the staff and children, and pick up that very special ‘feel’ of Hunter Hall school and its children that is impossible to convey either in text or images. The emphasis is on providing children with a range of skills, to help them to recognise that they have the ability (and courage) to think. Values are very important here, and courtesy, behaviour, appearance and respect remain of the utmost importance. In addition, perseverance and cooperation are especially valued, creating a warm, friendly and almost tangible sense of community within the school.
