Mission statement
We believe in a holistic approach to learning; we ensure that all children have the best possible education during an unsettling period in their lives. We foster a sense of wonder and aim to bring a love of learning that they can take with them throughout life. We consider a student’s holistic development to be as valuable as their academic progress. We encourage ourselves and our young people to develop resilience, empathy and advocacy in order to work towards an equitable society for all.
HHTS joins together every facet of our students’ care with their personal learning journey. Through respectful and kind relationships, individualised learning and dynamic interventions we ensure our students have every opportunity to discover and realise their potential and aspirations.
To engender curiosity and creativity we will:
- create and engage in new ideas and experiences
- challenge ourselves to grasp opportunities, make mistakes and grow from these experiences
- explore and work towards our aspirations and ambitions
- encourage curiosity, creativity and lifelong learning in ourselves and others
- think critically, develop intellectual curiosity and make beautiful work.
- seek to learn about cultures and beliefs beyond our own
To develop confidence and advocacy we will:
- endeavour to be flexible and embrace change to navigate the ever-changing world
- be active members of the global community and work towards equity for all
- advocate for ourselves and others with respect and empathy
- express our opinions and ideas while listening to those of others
- build hope and confidence to overcome adversity
To ensure respect and kindness we will:
- create a calm and focused learning environment in which everyone can learn effectively
- support others self-worth, love of life and hope for future
- develop and communicate empathy to support healthy relationships
- recognise, value and celebrate individuality and diversity in our community and in the wider world
- nurture self-acceptance, self-respect and compassion for others
