Welcome
HOVINGHAM PRIMARY SCHOOL VISION STATEMENT:
“Vision without action is merely a dream, Action without vision is pointless, Vision and action together can change the world.”
Nelson Mandela.
Hovingham Primary is a large, inner-city, linguistically diverse school located in the Harehills area of Leeds. 98% of our children are from Minority Ethnic backgrounds and we have 25 different languages spoken here.
Our vision of education is one which provides a centre of excellence for our children; one where every child is valued for their individuality, personality and self-worth; one were we strive to raise standards.
We believe that all children are unique individuals with a right to a safe and happy environment, respect for their background, religion and culture and wide educational opportunities of the highest quality.
“Pupils are provided with high levels of care and their personaldevelopment and well-being are good.”
Ofsted 2007
“They get on well with one another and are self-confident and eager to learn.”
Ofsted 2007

We are looking for highly skilled teachers and practitioners, who are passionate and enthusiastic about children and teaching.
