Welcome to Hawes School Website. In the slideshow below we are sharing some images of ourselves and partner schools in other places. We are exploring the idea of 'extreme reading', some children in our school have gone off and created some great images of their own. These have been added to by St Thomas School, Monkey River, Belize ; and by Mettupalayam School, Tamil Nadu, South India.
Reading is very important and we think it's something worth enjoying. We have recently added hundreds of books to our class reading collections and we are redesigning the library. If you can take a digital image to add to our collection, we would love to see it.

Our school is very fortunate to be located at the head of Wensleydale in the beautiful unspoilt Yorkshire Dales National Park. Our children either live in Hawes or the surrounding villages and hamlets. Hawes Primary School is highly regarded within the local community who strongly support the school in many ways.
We think that it is important that our children are happy and secure when they are at school and that parents and staff work closely together in an atmosphere of mutual trust for the children's benefit. Our school has a friendly family atmosphere and an open door policy.
We aim to give our pupils the skills they need for the future not only in high educational standards but also in developing their moral and spiritual values in as chool where the children are happy. Our children are keen to learn and enjoy coming to school. Staff are committed to providing the best possible education for each individual child whilst also encouraging an enthusiastic desire for learning.
