The School and Its Surroundings

St. Hubert's School is a co-educational school for Catholic children aged between 4 and 11 years. A limited number of non-Catholic children may be admitted in accordance with the admission criteria. Children are offered a place in the Reception Class at the beginning of the school year in which they are five.

 

 

The Church of Our Lady and St. Hubert was opened in 1934 and the school took its first pupils on 5th April 1937. It consisted then of the hall and four classrooms; three further classrooms were added in the 1950s.

 

The number of children in the school has varied over the years. In 1937 there were 162 on roll and numbers rose steadily up to 1960, when there were 330; the opening of two other Catholic schools in the area relieved the pressure. The school has been heavily over subscribed for years and, as a result, has started expanding to become a 2-form entry primary school. There are currently around 360 children on roll.
