Welcome to The Federation of Hackbridge Primary School and Spencer Nursery School

Our two schools, Hackbridge Primary School and Spencer Nursery School, have been joined together in a federation since 1st November 2016, putting us in a unique position locally offering childcare and education across the 0-11 years age range.

Both schools have a longstanding history within the local community - Hackbridge Primary School having been in existence on the Hackbridge Corner site for over 100 years and Spencer Nursery School having been built in 1946. The newest addition to the schools' accommodation is the London Road site expansion of Hackbridge Primary School, which is a modern and eco-friendly award-winning Passivhaus Plus building, offering the additional benefit of a playing field which is utilised by both schools.

Across the federation, we aim to work in partnership with families to enable each child to reach the highest possible standards of learning, whilst encouraging everyone to develop an enthusiasm for life, together with a sense of pride in themselves, our school and our community. The schools' leadership team works across all three school sites to drive the provision of high quality childcare and education in collaboration with all of the staff working within the federation.

Spencer Nursery School offers all year round childcare and education for children aged between 0-4 years. More information about Spencer Nursery School can be found here.

Hackbridge Primary School is a four form entry primary school, with attached nursery classes for 3-4 year olds on a term time only basis. More information about Hackbridge Primary School can be found here.

We hope that you enjoy exploring our website which contains a wealth of information about our two schools.

The Welfare of the Child is Paramount

The Welfare of the Child is Paramount

Across The Federation of Hackbridge Primary School and Spencer Nursery School, the safety and welfare of our children is of the utmost importance.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. All staff have a responsibility to provide a safe environment in which children can learn and to be alert to signs that a child may need help, support or protection. We are committed to ensuring that children feel safe, are listened to and know who they can speak to if they are worried about themselves or someone else.

We follow statutory safeguarding guidance, including Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2026 and Working Together to Safeguard Children 2026, alongside local safeguarding procedures. All concerns about a child's welfare are taken seriously and acted upon in accordance with our safeguarding and child protection procedures.

We work in partnership with children, families and other agencies to safeguard and promote the welfare of every child. Where there are concerns about a child's safety or wellbeing, our priority will always be to act in the best interests of the child.

We follow statutory safer recruitment requirements and undertake all appropriate pre-employment and safeguarding checks for staff and volunteers.

All staff at Spencer Nursery School are paediatric first aid trained, and a number of staff at Hackbridge Primary School are paediatric first aid trained.
