VISION
Rift House Primary School is situated in West Hartlepool and strives to provide a vibrant, stimulating, exciting and high quality centre of learning for our children, their families and the whole community.
Our dedicated staff work hard to ensure that each and every child, regardless of circumstance, acquires a thorough knowledge of basic skills – the basic skills which enable all of our children to become lifelong learners who are very well equipped to succeed at secondary school, gain entry to further education and ultimately find fulfilling employment.
Mr. D. A. Turner
Headteacher
'Rift House is a strong, cohesive community based upon an effective partnership
between home and school. Leaders work hard to empower and encourage parents
and carers to take a more active role in the education of their children. The school
is – as its mission statement states – an ‘inclusive, reflective and responsive school’
that challenges, inspires and motivates both staff and pupils.'
