Hey with Zion is a voluntary controlled primary school with a joint Church of England and Methodist Foundation, enjoying links with our founder churches, St. John the Baptist Hey and Zion Methodist Church. Their motto is: “to do the best we can” and encapsulates all that they do. They are proud of every one of their pupils, from Year Six pupils who can sit GCSEs while still at primary school to Nursery pupils learning to count and to write their names. They take pride in being an inclusive school, and welcome children of all faiths, no faith and from different backgrounds and cultures, as well as children of differing talents and abilities. We are proud of high academic standards, but also understand that there is so much more to a child’s education – the development of their personality and character, learning to respect others and themselves, and to expect the best of themselves and of each other. Ofsted said "the school continues to go from strength to strength… (and that the pupils) flourish, both academically and in their personal development."
