Welcome to Hindley Junior & Infant School

We are proud to share the ethos, values and opportunities that make our school a welcoming, inclusive and inspiring place for children to learn and grow. As a non-denominational community primary school for children aged 4–11, we are fully committed to inclusion and ensuring every child feels valued and supported.

We believe that education is a strong partnership between home and school. Children thrive when families and staff work together with openness and trust. From the moment your child joins us, we work in collaboration with parents and carers to ensure they are happy, confident and able to achieve their full academic and social potential. We highly value the voice of our families and actively encourage strong, positive links with our wider community.

At the heart of our school is our motto: Believe and Achieve. We are guided by the belief that “behind every child who believes in themselves is an adult who believed first.” This principle shapes everything we do. We hold high expectations for all pupils and provide a broad, rich and engaging curriculum that challenges children to succeed academically, creatively, socially and physically.

We celebrate curiosity, resilience and perseverance. Our children are encouraged to take ownership of their learning, ask questions, embrace challenges and learn from mistakes. Through praise of effort, determination and positive attitudes, we aim to create an environment where all pupils can flourish, regardless of background or starting point.

Respect, empathy and kindness are central to our ethos. We celebrate diversity and teach children to value and understand others, both within school and in the wider world. Safeguarding and wellbeing are of the utmost importance, and we promote the qualities of courage, compassion and responsibility in everything we do.

High-quality teaching and strong relationships between staff and pupils underpin our success. Our staff are committed to continuous professional development, ensuring that teaching remains inspiring, supportive and effective.

Our aim is for every child to leave our school as a confident, independent learner with a love of learning, a belief in themselves, and a deep respect for others. We strive to equip them not only with excellent knowledge and skills, but also with the character and values needed to succeed in life and contribute positively to society.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school and giving you the opportunity to see our community in action.
