Description
Hessle Mount School is Independent Primary school in East Riding of Yorkshire for kids aged 3 to 8 (Gender - Mixed )
For over 125 years they have nurtured all our pupils, from the Junior School right through to Sixth Form, to ensure they receive an outstanding education within an environment that is both warm and supportive and also challenging and stimulating. This has been particularly evident throughout the pandemic. From day one they were able to deliver a full timetable of online learning with live teaching to all our pupils. Here at Hymers, for the pupils, this academic year is not about catching up, it is about moving forward.

They also endeavour to ensure that students who are identified as being in need of special support receive help through outside agencies, if necessary, and through any non-specialist help that subject teachers are able to give. They wish to be sympathetic and supportive to students with difficulties to ensure that they fulfil their potential and are happy in their studies.
