Welcome to the Hornsea Burton and Skipsea Primary Federation

 

Our Story

The Hornsea Burton and Skipsea Federation was formed in July 2013 and has a shared Governing Board. Both schools have been rated as ‘Good’ by Ofsted for their last two inspections. A decision was made in February 2021 for The Hornsea Burton and Skipsea Federation to form a Collaboration with Hornsea School and Language College (HSLC). The driving force behind this Collaboration is to provide more opportunities for both our students and staff and to enable everyone to benefit from a mutually supportive ethos across the schools. The Collaboration shares the vision that our students and their learning must come first and we strongly believe that by working together we can help all of our students become the very best they can be.

Together the three schools will have a combined 30 years of ‘Good’ collective expertise and experience and we believe that through working collaboratively we can successfully safeguard and enhance the long-term future for both our students and staff and the wider school community.

I am very proud of our successful schools and I believe we can offer your child a learning experience of the highest quality within a small, friendly school. It is an exciting time and we believe the collaboration provides further opportunities for both staff and pupils to have an even greater impact on the local community.

All three schools are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted and are hubs of the local community. Most importantly, we have happy, confident and well-behaved pupils who love coming to school. As a school community we strive to make both Hornsea Burton and Skipsea special places for our young children to learn and succeed. We provide a safe, caring environment with a wide range of learning experiences for all children.

A strong sense of identity is nurtured in all our pupils. They are encouraged to develop a broad set of skills to enable them to become confident, considerate young people, well equipped to face an ever-changing world. We believe that everyone who attends one of our schools can, and should, achieve success and that by promoting a culture where all associated with the school can learn and develop as individuals, we are all be proud to be associated with it.

The Collaboration has a very talented and dedicated team of staff who, at all times, constantly strive to ensure that our students realise their full potential. We ask all students and staff to be useful and kind and engage with our effective centralised behaviour system, Positive Discipline, which ensures consistency and consistently rewards good behaviour. Our school is a calm and enjoyable place to both learn and work within.

We believe we are at the start of a very exciting journey for both our students and staff and, therefore, this is an excellent time and opportunity to be joining the Hornsea Burton and Skipsea Primary School Federation. I am proud to be a part of a collaboration of schools that values the whole child, striving to enable every child to achieve their full potential. All learners, all aspiring, all valued, all achieving.
