We are a small school, full of caring, supportive and talented staff. It is a place where mutual support goes hand in hand with excellent education and care. A school whose guiding principles are about making the difficult times manageable, giving pupils a great education and helping them move on successfully to their next phase of learning.
Values & Ethos
Our Core Purpose and Values
Pupils take a great pride in their work and behaviour. They are supportive of each other and celebrate their own successes and those of other class members”
“A learning culture is promoted, in which pupils and staff feel safe and expectations are high for all. Everyone buys in to this culture and, as a result, the work ethic in the school is very strong. Pupils conduct themselves with great professionalism, taking great pride in their achievements.”
(OFSTED – June 2017)
BRITISH VALUES
We recognise the multi-cultural, multi-faith and ever-changing nature of the community we are committed to serve. We provide opportunities for pupils to explore their own culture and have a clear understanding and appreciation of a wide range of the cultural influences that have shaped modern Britain.
We promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. Our school values seek to eradicate discrimination against any individual or group, regardless of faith, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality, disability, political or financial status.
We also understand the vital role we play in ensuring that groups or individuals within our school are able to thrive, free from discrimination, intimidation or radicalisation by those wishing to unduly, or illegally, influence them.
At The Children’s Hospital School our spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) education permeates through the curriculum, supports the development of our pupils and includes the teaching and promotion of British values.
“Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding is very well promoted through the curriculum and day-to-day interactions. All pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain.”
