Our School Ethos and Values

All aspects of our school life are underpinned by the "Education for All" policy advocated by the Government several years ago.  This promotes an inclusive rather than exclusive outlook.  Children are encouraged to participate in activities irrespective of race, religion,  gender or ability.  To enable children to do this we look carefully at the opportunities offered in school to ensure that we can fulfil our aim, within and beyond the National Curriculum.
We have high expectations of the children in terms of academic achievement, social development, standards of behaviour and conduct.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
Children's abilities vary considerably.  Every teacher in the school aims to discover each child's potential and to help them to exceed it.  Children's work is differentiated to meet their varying needs and to set them challenging targets.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
This is a high priority at Spring Hill.  We teach and encourage children to care, to co-operate and to be considerate as essential life skills.

STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOUR
We have one golden rule which is DO NOT DO ANYTHING WHICH WILL HARM YOURSELF, OTHER PEOPLE OR THE SCHOOL.  We teach children acceptable codes of conduct and encourage mutual and self respect.
If children have difficulty maintaining an acceptable standard of behaviour then there are set sanctions.  If there is a serious incident or if a pupil consistently misbehaves, parents will be asked to work with the school to support the pupil in improving their behaviour.

OUR MOTTO
"Care,   Consideration,   Co-Operation and Accomplishment"
