Welcome to Hunter Hall primary school

We have a small number of bursaries available; there is a simple application process. Please contact Mr Paul Borrows, Head teacher, direct to talk through our bursary scheme.

We generally have an Open Week in October and one in March. However, we want our school to be accessible as possible and welcome you to visit any time. We feel parents get a real sense of what the school is like on a normal day, so therefore welcome you to get in touch to book an appointment at your convenience to come and meet us.

We aim to get your child into their school of choice.  Each year a number gain scholarships into excellent independent schools and many of our children are offered places into the much sought after local grammar school.

School begins at 8.30am, however pupils may be dropped off from 8.15am. The school day ends at 3.00pm for Lower School and 3.15pm for Upper School, however the majority of pupils remain at school for the vast array of co-curricular activities or simply to complete homework/for childcare reasons. Pupils may stay until 5.30pm.

We run a morning minibus service on the A66 corridor with pick up points at Keswick, Threlkeld, Penruddock and Stainton.

The cost per term is currently £300 payable in arrears (A 25% third child discount is applicable)

We will review charges annually.

The current school policy is for pupils to commit to a full term’s use of the service and parents should advise the School before the end of the preceding term if they do not wish to take up a place during the following term.

A full term’s notice is required if you wish to give up your child’s place on the bus.

If you’re interested in using this service, please fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch:

Safety information: 

• It is imperative that parents ensure that their children are aware that they must have their seatbelt securely fastened at all times.
• If you are parking at the opposite side of the road from the bus, children MUST NOT cross the road by themselves. They MUST be accompanied by an adult.

Other information: 

• Snow / bad weather: If bad weather is an issue and school was cancelled, we would notify you by text in the usual way.
• If there are any issues with the minibus the driver would contact you.
• If you need have any issues such as your child will not be at school, we would ask you to contact the school in the usual way and also contact the minibus driver (A separate minibus mobile number will be provided)

The current average class size 14.

There isn’t an entrance exam or a given task to complete. Teachers conduct baseline assessments after the child’s arrival.

We pride ourselves at Hunter Hall on the presentation of our pupils and wish to ensure that all children are equipped with the appropriate uniform, therefore we operate our own uniform shop. We also offer a range of high quality second-hand uniform as well as new items.

The shop is on site and is open every Monday morning from 8.30am to 9.00am
