From the Hurst Drive Primary School
Welcome to the website of Hurst Drive Primary School, a school that is located in the centre of Waltham Cross and close to Enfield. In our school, we work hard to teach the core skills of reading, writing and mathematics while also ensuring we promote the wider curriculum - including science, physical education, computing, the arts and humanities. Through a variety of engaging learning activities, both inside and outside the classroom, our kids are encouraged to explore, learn, and ask questions. We are grateful to teach children who demonstrate our values of perseverance, self-control, creativity, kindness and collaboration and we've yet to have a visitor to our school who hasn't commented on our children's excellent behaviour and attitude to learning. Even though we prefer to take the credit for it, we are aware that our loving and devoted parents and carers do a lot of the grunt work so that we can all arrive at school each day eager to learn. Success for All is the school's slogan, therefore we hold ourselves and the students we teach to the highest standards. While we really hope that perusing our website will provide you with all the information you may require, if you do have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the school office.
