Hexton JMI School

A nurturing environment for 4 to 11-year-olds

We’re a small primary school in a spectacular and unique setting on the Herts and Beds border

Mighty oaks from little acorns grow...

Our Setting

We’re nestled in the beautiful village of Hexton, Hertfordshire – a ten-minute drive from Hitchin and five from Barton-le-Clay.

We’ve got our own playing fields and school garden.

Barton Hills Nature Reserve is on our doorstep and greenery surrounds us in every direction. An added bonus is we have our own car park, making drop-off simple.

"Pupils show exceptional care and consideration for each other. Their behaviour in lessons and around the school is exemplary."

"We have always been incredibly happy with the school, its sense of community and how each child is valued and nurtured as an individual. Children are always kind to each other and have friends in all age groups."

I really enjoy outdoor learning. We made dens and worked together which was fun.

"It feels really nice here because it's small and you can talk to people confidently. We're all really close and it's more like a family."

I love active learning outside in acorn garden. I really like hanging like a monkey on the bars.

I read every morning and I am getting better and better and better. Reading is so much fun.

Rated OUTSTANDING for behaviour, personal development and welfare

School Ethos

Founded in 1846, Hexton JMI takes the best of the past and blends it with the modern world. We’re big on traditional values – promoting things like respect and resilience – and we fuse this with innovation, creating the perfect mix for today’s pupil.

Because of our small size, we get to know every child as an individual, in a way that other schools simply cannot – seeing to it that each pupil reaches their full potential.

We welcome children from Herts, Beds and beyond. Contact us today.
