My child recently changed schools and as a parent I feel Hackbridge was a very good move. Communication from the school has been fantastic. Thank you.
Welcome to The Federation of Hackbridge Primary School and Spencer Nursery School
As Headteacher, I am immensely proud to lead a warm, child-centred federation where every single child - from our youngest learners at Spencer Nursery School to our pupils at Hackbridge Primary School - is known, valued and supported to thrive.
At the heart of everything we do across both Spencer Nursery School and Hackbridge Primary School is a relational approach that puts our children first. We ensure they feel safe, heard and excited to learn every single day. Pupil voice is integral to our shared culture; we listen to our children and empower them to shape their own journey right from their early years through to primary education.
We strongly believe that a child’s education is a partnership and we deeply value our close relationships with parents and carers across our whole community. By working together, we can ensure every child achieves their full potential in a nurturing and continuous learning environment.
The best way to experience our unique atmosphere is to see it in action. I warmly invite you to come and visit us, meet our wonderful pupils and staff at both Spencer Nursery and Hackbridge Primary and see for yourself what makes our federation community so special.

Headteacher
At our school, strong relationships are the foundation of everything we do, built on a shared commitment to treating one another with kindness, respect, and empathy every day.

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.
For further information about our safeguarding arrangements, Designated Safeguarding Leads and how to report a concern, please visit our Safeguarding page.
