Twin Sails Infant School & Nursery and Hamworthy Park Junior School are part of the Hamworthy Primary schools Federation. Both schools are four-form entry and set in beautiful surroundings, overlooking Poole Bay. Our caring, nurturing ethos underpins everything that we do. We all believe that every child deserves the very best education and a wealth of opportunities to achieve their full potential, and as a team we strive to achieve this.
Our schools are part of Hamwic Education Trust (HET), a large, fast-paced Trust with currently 37 academies across the South Coast. Linked to 6 community-based partnerships, there are 34 primary academies, 2 secondary and 1 hospital school.
‘Every Child, Every Day, Every Possibility.’
The schools work in a supportive partnership with other local schools, as part of the Hillary Partnership within the Hamwic Education Trust. We aim to deliver an outstanding education to our pupils and to do so we must employ outstanding people.
‘All about the Child’
At HET, we aim to put the child at the centre of everything we do. We believe that by doing this, it drives our ethos and values to do the best we can for our children.
‘What about Sam’
Sam is the name we have given to the notional Hamwic child. By asking ourselves ‘What about Sam?’ we ensure that we put our pupils at the heart of our decision making.
