Curriculum Vision
The vision of Hellingly School is Reach for the Stars, this is underpinned by the values we actively promote of Respect, Achievement and Perseverance. We believe in the concept of lifelong learning and the idea that both adults and children learn new things every day. Learning should be based on an atmosphere of mutual tolerance and respect, in which all learners feel valued as individuals and are actively involved in the learning process. Children learn to demonstrate resilience, confidence and perseverance when faced with challenge and to continue to be enthusiastic when facing tasks which require application over time. We aim to provide an inclusive curriculum that gives all children the opportunity to fulfil their potential, both academically and in wider interests and talents. At Hellingly School, we believe that everybody has the right to achieve to their full potential, learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone.
