We would like to warmly welcome you to Hazel Wood Infant School, I am Hannah Simpson-Riggs and I am the Headteacher.

Choosing your child’s school is such an important decision. Your child has already begun an exciting learning journey, and we see ourselves as your partners every step of the way. At Hazel Wood, we’re here to make sure every child gets the very best start to their education in a warm, supportive environment.

We are incredibly proud to share that in our most recent Ofsted inspection, our school was described as outstanding, a recognition that reflects the dedication, care, and hard work of our entire school community. While we are delighted with this achievement, we remain committed to maintaining our outstanding status and continuing to grow and improve in every area of school life.

At the heart of our approach is the belief that children learn best in a happy, caring, and positive environment. We strive to ensure every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to achieve their very best. High standards in teaching, learning, and behaviour are central to everything we do, and we work closely with families to nurture a love of learning from the very beginning. We value strong relationships with our families and believe that open communication is key to a successful school experience. 

As the Headteacher, I am available on a daily basis and always happy to speak with parents, carers, and visitors. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch, or say hello at the school gate.

Mrs Hannah Simpson-Riggs

Headteacher
