Welcome to Hebden Royd Primary School
We're a gem of a school in Hebden Bridge, tucked into the hillside, with just over a hundred children aged three to eleven.
Small means everyone here knows each other by name, and teachers know exactly where each child is up to. It means friendships run across the years and the children look out for each other. And it means every child has the space to explore who they are. Come and have a look round. I'd much rather show you than tell you.

Brave voices
Some people assume a school this size means a smaller world for a child. We've found the opposite.
Our children think about the valley they live in, the country they're growing up in, and the planet they'll inherit, and they prove over and over that you’re never too little to change things.
We call it courageous advocacy: speaking up for something you believe in, even when that's uncomfortable, and finding out that people listen. Twenty of our children are elected to our Eco Council, deciding what the school does about its energy, its waste and the land around it.
“There is a strong commitment to protect the environment through the eco council ... Pupils have a strong sense of equality and they learn to value difference.”
Look what we’ve been getting up to.
Latest news and notices
Strong hearts,
We don't wait for children to struggle before we talk about how they're feeling.
Understanding your own mind is part of what everyone here learns, in the same way that reading and numbers are. Through myHappymind and our approach to emotion coaching, children build a vocabulary for their feelings and a set of things to try when the feelings get big. You can read more about how we do this, and find support for home, on our wellbeing page.
