On behalf of the children, staff and governors I would like to offer you a warm welcome to our school web site.

For those of you not familiar with the school, we are a relatively large Church of England Primary school, situated on the edge of Cannock Chase in Rugeley. Etching Hill has been part of the local community since 1971.

We want our pupils’ time in school to be memorable.

Our shared aim is to inspire the children in our care to become happy, independent lifelong learners, who are able to fulfil their own personal potential, by providing high quality and exciting learning opportunities.

I am very honoured to work with such a dedicated team of teachers, support staff and governors, all of whom place a high emphasis on each individual child’s personal development. In doing so, they provide the children with guidance and support so they are able to make their own positive choices in life.

At Etching Hill we are proud of the wide range of academic, musical, artistic, sporting and community activities that take place on a regular basis. Each of these contributes to making the school a vibrant, happy place to be.

Furthermore we believe that we can only achieve the best for our pupils by working closely with parents and carers. There are many opportunities for parents to share in their child’s education and visitors are always warmly welcomed into the school.

I hope that our website becomes a valuable part of this relationship and serves to improve communication, as well as providing useful information to all visitors to the site.

Thank you
— Mrs Marie Smith | Headteacher
