Welcome

Kindergarten educates girls and boys from the ages of 3 to 7 years old, and at the age of 7 they automatically enter Hulme Court or Estcourt Preparatory School.

The early years are, without doubt, the most important part of a child’s school life – and at Oldham Hulme Kindergarten, we aim to channel each child's natural enthusiasm into a genuine and life-long passion for learning.

Challenging young, enquiring minds to fulfill their true potential, through a broad and balanced education, we make learning fun and promote positive discipline based on praise and reward.

Reception to Year 2 recently moved into their new home at Thornycroft House. This Grade 2 listed building has been sensitively restored to provide modern teaching spaces whilst still retaining the beautiful original features.

The resources within the school have been updated and include new interactive whiteboards and a laptop trolley with 20 laptops.

We invite you to come and see us on Open Day; you are guaranteed a warm welcome!

Headteacher: Mrs J Wood
