Our Ethos

At Hurst Green Primary School, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential. We believe that education is about more than just academic achievement; it is about developing the whole child - intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically.

Our school is a place where children feel respected, supported, and inspired to learn. We warmly welcome all of our children and families, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging. We recognise that each child is unique, with their own strengths, needs, and aspirations, and we are dedicated to supporting them on their individual journeys.

Through a collaborative and nurturing approach, we aim to empower our children to become confident, well-rounded, and independent individuals, equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their next steps and beyond. We are committed to providing a high-quality, enriching education that challenges and engages all learners, regardless of their starting points or any barriers they may face.

Our Values

At the heart of our school are the following core values that guide our actions and decisions:

1. Respect: We believe in treating everyone with dignity, kindness, and understanding, regardless of their background, abilities, or beliefs, and we celebrate our individual differences.
2. Compassion: We approach each child and family with empathy, kindness, and a genuine desire to support their well-being and growth. We strive to create a caring and compassionate community where everyone feels heard, understood, and valued.
3. Equity: We are dedicated to ensuring that all children have equal opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive, and we work tirelessly to remove any barriers to their success. 
4. Aspiration: We have high expectations for our children: we inspire them to strive for excellence and encourage them to set ambitious goals, challenge themselves, and reach their full potential.
5. Collaboration: We believe in working together as a team - staff, children, families, and the wider community - to support each child's development and create a positive, enriching learning environment of cooperation and shared responsibility. 
6. Responsibility: We foster a sense of personal and social responsibility in our children, helping them to become active, engaged, and conscientious members of our school, our community and wider society.
