At Hatchlands Primary School, we believe education is the greatest way to level the playing field and give every child the chance to be all that they can be, and to reach their full potential.

We are committed to deliver real social justice and to equip children with the skills to embrace the change and challenges of modern life in an increasingly global world.

Building a strong character and a sense of moral purpose is part of the responsibility we have towards our children, our community and the wider world.

For this reason, there are 5 Causes that we continue to raise awareness of and 5 Charities that we are currently focusing on and supporting.

The Causes that we are committed to are:          

• Deprivation (Tackling the causes and reducing the effects.)                
• Quality education (Ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.)
• Food Poverty
• Clean Water and Sanitation
• Gender equality

The Charities we currently support are:

• Heads Together – ‘Mentally Healthy Schools’ is one of the initiatives launched by Heads Together in 2018 to offer primary teachers support and advice to specifically make it easier for them to them to better support pupils’ mental health.
• Children in Need - helping to support children and young people experiencing disadvantage throughout the UK.
• Action Aid – changing the world with woman and girls. The denial of women’s and girls’ rights is one of the biggest causes of poverty worldwide and Action Aid put the rights of women and girls at the heart of all they do to reduce this and keep children safe from harm.

We intend for the remaining two charities to be local to our community and they will be chosen by our school community.
