Hawbush is a community primary school located in Brierley Hill, admitting children from the age of 2 up to the age of 11 years.

Our building was completely re-developed in 2011 with a dedicated Nursery unit, a library, a SEND Base Provision, a community hall, allotments, woodland area, fields and a football pitch. We are very lucky to have such a large site with fantastic facilities.

Working in partnership with external children’s charities and HAF, we host additional activities such as after school clubs and reduced cost football /multi-sports clubs throughout the holidays.

We can also offer support for the local community, with onsite counselling and mentoring, as well as food parcels for families who need them.
