Description
At Lift Hamford, we are dedicated to providing every child with the very best opportunities to achieve their highest potential. High-quality learning is at the heart of everything we do, ensuring our pupils develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in the modern world.
Located in the charming coastal town of Walton-on-the-Naze, Lift Hamford is a welcoming two-form entry primary school where every child is encouraged to flourish. From January 2026, we will open a brand-new 40-place nursery for 2–4 year olds, marking an exciting new chapter in our school’s journey.
Our facilities include:
A modern Years 5 and 6 building (opened in 2020)
Extensive outdoor grounds that en- rich learning and play
A dedicated Wellbeing Hub supporting pupil welfare
An Autism Support Centre, funded by Essex County Council, ensuring inclusive provision for all
We are proud of our strong team culture, with 15 dedicated teachers and skilled teaching assistants in every year group, supported by a leadership team that always prioritises pupils in every decision.
We believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals who not only excel academically but also grow as compassionate, responsible members of their community. Through engaging experiences, inspiring teaching, and a supportive environment, we create lasting memories and instil a lifelong love of learning.
Every child deserves the very best, and at Lift Hamford, we are committed to helping them explore, develop, and succeed—both in school and beyond.
