About us
Hyde Heath Infant School is nestled in the village of Hyde Heath with a maximum of 69 children, plus a Nursery Class. The school has a warm welcoming atmosphere where all children and staff know each other and work together as one team.

We encourage high standards of behaviour and achievement, with everyone being the best version of themselves that they can be. We aim to develop the 'whole' child in a secure and meaningful environment where all the children feel valued and respected.

Our motto is 'Nurturing Excellence' which we achieve through a supportive, positive environment with our children learning through a creative and strong values-based curriculum.
