Statement of Values and Ethos

Hillmead Primary School is a community school where children are valued as individuals. We foster the spirit of kindness in our community, encouraging our children to respect and care for one another. Every child at Hillmead School is valued as a learner. Our expectations for pupils are high, we want them to work hard and achieve well, making the most of the opportunities offered to them during their time with us at school. We encourage our children to be explorers, investigators and above all else, learners with a curiosity for learning about the world around them.
