OPEN MORNING - for Reception Applications 2026

Have you applied for your child’s school place next year?

If not, we’d love to invite you to visit us to give you a sense of what life is like here at our wonderful school.

At Framlingham Sir Robert Hitcham’s we recognise that each child is unique, with their own set of gifts and talents. As educators, it is our duty to nurture and develop them all.

Our school is described by parents and visitors as having a ‘happy, friendly and family feel.’  As experienced staff we pride ourselves on knowing the children well, in order to be able to plan, support, inspire and challenge them to be their very best selves.

We are privileged to have a wonderfully committed and experienced team of teaching and support staff, strengthened by our parents, our dedicated Governors and the local community.  This means that all of our children should be able to go out into the world secure in the values that are at the heart of our Christian school. 

Our curriculum has community at its heart - it is inclusive, creative and exciting.  The website, Blog, Facebook and Instagram page, will give you an insight into our school, the range of opportunities for the children and our curriculum.

Come along to our Open Morning on Thursday 13 November, between 9.15am -12pm, call us to book a time, or get in touch if you would like to arrange a separate visit and see for yourself what we offer here at Sir Robert Hitcham’s before the SCC application deadline of 15 January 2026.
