Headteacher's Welcome

We are a school where...

We learn together, to be successful in learning for life. 

 

 

I

I am delighted to be the Headteacher of this wonderful school. Every day I look forward to seeing the children continue to grow from strength to strength. I am extremely proud to be leading a staff team that is committed to every child’s well-being and to providing exceptional development and learning opportunities for every child in our care, and their families.

At Hatherley Infant School and Nursery, we strongly believe that every child is unique, equally important and equally valued. Our caring, happy and friendly atmosphere is what every member of staff prides themselves on the most. Through this, we nurture every child to allow them to achieve their true potential in all areas of their growth and development so that they can be successful in life. Learning together is extremely important to us. 

Alongside our vision of learning together, Hatherley Infant School and Nursery continue to have extremely strong relationships with parents and families, and continuing this very important aspect of our ethos will always remain a priority.  We strive to be a hub in the community, offering any and all pastoral support to as many families as we can.

I hope you enjoy looking around our website, and if you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of the school administration team.

However, to truly get a feel for our amazing school, please come and see us. We’d love to show you around!

Hatherley Infant School and Nursery website

We are delighted that you have found our school website and hope it will provide you with a good introduction to both our school and nursery whilst answering any questions you may have. We are a well-established happy and vibrant school, with a caring team who place children’s well-being and learning at the heart of its existence.

Hatherley Infant School is situated within its original Victorian building with rather grand old railings encircling the deceptively large grounds where children have played for over 120 years.

Hatherley opened in 1901 and originally had an infant department for children aged 3 to 7 years and a mixed department for children aged 7 to 13/14 years of age. The school is situated in the Barton and Tredworth area, once a small community outside Gloucester but now very much part of Gloucester City. The multi-cultural community spirit is reflected in the ethos of the school and it retains a very welcoming atmosphere. The tradition of attending Hatherley has been handed down from generation to generation, whilst welcoming an increasingly diverse community.

Hatherley Infant School and Nursery is a happy place, with a committed staff team who are always willing to consider new ideas and give their best to further serve the children’s wide ranging educational and welfare needs. We value the role of the Governing Board and our parents/carers as partners in the education of the children. All of us are extremely proud of our popular school and of the achievements our children continue to make.

We are a member of the Gloucester Schools Partnership and work collaboratively with other Gloucester schools.

Now part of the DGAT family

With effect from 1^st May 2024, the school converted to an academy as part of DGAT (Diocese of Gloucester Academies Trust.)
