We are so proud of former pupil of Hambrook Primary School Ava Mannings who recently won The Voice!
Ava’s exceptional achievement has filled our school community with immense pride and joy. She has always been a fantastic singer and showcased her incredible talent from a young age in our school choir and performances led by Sue Cessford (teaching assistant), who sadly passed in 2019. It’s heartwarming to see Ava fulfilling her dreams and honouring the musical foundation that Sue helped to build.
Staff, both past and present, are extremely proud of Ava’s accomplishments and it has been a privilege to witness her talents blossom. Ava’s journey is a true inspiration to all our students, reminding us of the power of dedication, hard work, and following one’s dreams. Congratulations, Ava! Your primary school is cheering you on as you continue this exciting journey in your music career!

Safe Parking
Please can we ask all parents/carers to take care when driving around our school and park safely. Please use parking around the common and walk to the school gates, dropping off children by our gates is dangerous and puts our children at risk.

Holidays in term time
A polite reminder that we do not authorise any holidays in term time. We recommend all parents/carers read our Attendance Policy and are familiar with it. It is important that all parents/carers understand that if you choose to take your child/ren out of school for a holiday in term time you may be issued with a fine from the Local Authority. Our policy includes more details on this.
In the event of information coming to light that an absence is due to a holiday, the policy will be followed and this will be coded as unauthorised.
Please be aware that the school does not provide work for pupils who take holiday in term time.
