AIMS
We have four School Aims which capture the areas of a child’s learning and development which matter most to us at Hornsby House School.
- Pastoral – To promote kindness, enhance self-esteem and the ability to value and respect each person’s own worth through a caring, nurturing and secure environment.
- Curriculum and Co-curriculum – To provide a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum and co-curriculum which is accessible to all children and fosters independent and creative thinkers.
- Equality, diversity and inclusion – To establish a culture of inclusion and equal opportunity, within which all members of the school and wider community can thrive.
- Preparation for life –To prepare happy and confident children for the next stage of their formal education and life beyond.
CORE VALUES
Our three core values (Head, Heart and Spirit) are deliberately simple and concise so that all members of our community can understand them. They sit at the heart of Hornsby life and govern all that we do. The core values are incorporated into many aspects of the school and our rewards system (House Points) are always linked to one of the values. Children also receive certificates, wristbands and badges for showing consistent use of the values.
- HEAD. We want pupils to use their HEAD to produce excellent work, show super listening skills, join in with all that Hornsby House has to offer and become an independent learner.
- HEART. We encourage pupils to use their HEART to show courtesy & manners, be a good friend, include others and be helpful within the school community.
- SPIRIT. Pupils show SPIRIT through putting in effort into everything they do, showing resilience when taking on challenges, creativity in all areas of the curriculum and trying their hand at new things.
