St Ippolyts CE Primary School
St Ippolyts CE Primary School is located on the outskirts of the old Hertfordshire market town of Hitchin in the village of St Ippolyts. Founded in 1846, the school enjoys a beautiful rural location opposite the village church with which the school maintains strong links. The school is a combination of old and new, with the original Victorian buildings still in place and a central part of the school site. After several years of determined fund-raising, November 2004 saw the completion of an ambitious building project; refurbished classrooms, a new library, new offices and a bright, spacious school hall brought the school’s accommodation firmly into the 21st Century.

The school has 150 children aged 4-11 from the village of St Ippolyts and the surrounding areas. As a Church of England School, their aim to provide the best possible education for each child within the context of a caring Christian community. The children are happy, motivated and enthusiastic towards learning; the school are very proud of them!

Class 3 (age7-9) have been following the progress of HMS Endurance since her departure in October 2005. The children are extremely fascinated in the ship and her journey and it is proving to be a very exciting topic! The fact that their teacher’s brother, CPO Peter Morewood is on board makes it very ‘real’ and provides a direct link. The children check the website every day for updates, print out the position maps and mark the latest location on a world map. Photographs, pictures and postcards adorn the classroom walls and the children have written several letters and made Christmas cards to send to Endurance. The class have learned about the Shackleton expeditions, and penguins have become many children’s favourite animal!

The class are looking forward to continuing their work after Christmas, especially when Endurance enters the ice – there is a space on the classroom wall just waiting for more photographs! Some of the children are SO enthused by the whole project, The Royal Navy may well have some new recruits in a few years!
