High Hazels a Great Place to Learn & A Great Place to Work

Our Vision is for every child and adult to be the best that they can be. We will achieve this by following the principles of United Learning’s Framework for Excellence: The Best in Everyone, Powerful Knowledge, Education with Character, Continuous Improvement, and Leadership in every Role.

We are an inclusive school with high expectations for all pupils and staff. We strongly believe all children can achieve both socially, emotionally and academically, in a supportive and nurturing environment, where all feel valued, challenged and supported.  We encourage our pupils to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and creativity.

Our curriculum enables children to master substantive and disciplinary knowledge in depth, to make meaningful links between their learning and to broaden their cultural capital. Our curriculum celebrates diversity and supports the development of personal skills and curiosity, helping children to understand themselves, their place in the world and the valuable contribution they will make.

In five years' time, High Hazels will be an outstanding school, which is a great place to learn and work, with high quality professional development for all. We will continue to develop strong links and work closely with parents the local community.

High Hazels Primary Academy will be a hub of academic excellence which is at the heart of the local community, and everyone associated with it will feel an immense sense of pride.    

United Learning Way

United Learning Ethos and Values

Our approach is underpinned by a sense of moral purpose and committment to doing what is right for children amd young people, supporting colleagues to achieve excellence and acting with integrity in all our dealings within and beyond the organisation, in the interests of young people everywhere.

We hold half-termly assemblies to introduce each value through the lens of an inspirational person.  Each week, children then discuss the value and how it can be demonstrated by them in their school lives.

We summarise this ethos as the best in everyone. This ethos underpins our core values:

 Respect –  of ourselves and others in all that we do.

Confidence – to have the courage of our convictions and to take risks in the right cause.

Ambition – to achieve the best for ourselves and others.

Determination – to overcome obstacles and reach success.  

Creativity – to imagine possibilities and make them real.

Enthusiasm – to seek opportunity, find what is good and pursue talents and interests.
