Our Hatchlands Promise aims to broaden the horizons of our children and link to our school's value of Compassion, Courage, Responsibility and Respect. 

We broaden horizons by developing global learners and planning opportunities for children to be aware of the wider world and its current issues. Our aim   is for our children to understand and respect cultural diversity and differences with an understanding of how the world works and encourage participation in the community at a range of levels, from the local to the global. We teach our children to make the world a more sustainable place and to take responsibility for their actions. 

We do this by providing learning linked to the following areas:

Wellbeing

We aim to nurture confident, independent children who are able to make responsible, healthy choices and have the ability to show empathy and compassion towards others. Our curriculum provides opportunities for our pupils to learn about their physical health, what constitutes a balanced diet and about how exercise benefits the body. In addition, we want our pupils to have a developing understanding of how to maintain good mental health. Our curriculum, therefore, teaches an understanding of emotions, promotes resilience and encourages an open approach to discussing worries or concerns.

Environment

We aim to enhance and enrich our children’s understanding of their local and wider environment by providing opportunities for learning within and beyond the classroom. We seek to develop an attitude of care and respect, where children understand how actions and decisions impact upon the world.

Challenge

At Hatchlands, high expectations underpin the emphasis on children challenging themselves and aspiring to be the best that they can be. Across the curriculum, children are introduced to human success stories/role models both in the locality and internationally. Children aspire to what they know exists, so these vital opportunities provide inspiration and aspiration. We encourage children at Hatchlands to see their learning as a journey and a route to success, understanding the importance of effort, attitude, self-belief and continuous improvement.

Ambassadors

Pupils at Hatchlands are at the heart of everything that happens in school. Their voices matter. Children know that they have the voice to develop their learning, bring positive change to the school and even impact the wider community - locally and globally. Children can bring change in our school by being ambassadors e.g. learning ambassadors, eco ambassadors, and digital ambassadors.

Relationships 

We want our children to have pride in themselves and a deep level of respect for thierpeers. We support our pupils to develop their emotional literacy to help them experience positive relationships. We believe in the power of the school community to change and enhance lives and we ensure our core values are taught in a relevant and productive way to ensure our pupils develop their sense of belonging within our community.

Equity

We recognise that some children will face greater barriers to their learning and development than others. We are committed to helping all children to overcome these so that they can grow and thrive to be well rounded, healthy, educated citizens.

Our curriculum at Hatchlands provides opportunities for children to understand, appreciate and celebrate difference. We are committed to making sure everyone’s rights and needs are understood and addressed and we actively challenge stereotypes.
