Visions and Values

Our work as a school is steered by our Vision, Mission and Values. The Vision sets out the long term ambition of Sir Francis Hill. The Mission describes our purpose as an organisation. Our Values describe 'how' we will work towards our mission and visions.

Vision

We will empower everyone in our school community to live with wisdom, kindness, and to play a positive and purposeful role in an every-changing global community.

Mission

We will ensure that every child is able to learn, achieve and succeed to the very best of their ability and thereby reach their own potential.

Mission Statement

Learn, Achieve, Succeed

Values

Wisdom, Community, Kindness

Wisdom: To develop wisdom, aspiration, knowledge and skills.  To enable discipline, confidence and delight in seeking wisdom and knowledge, and developing talents in all areas of life. To educate for coping wisely when things go wrong, opening horizons and guiding into ways of fulfilment. 

Community: To educate for community and living well together. This involves a focus on safeguarding, positive relationships, participation in communities and the qualities of character that enable people to flourish together. 

Kindness: To educate for kindness and respect: the basic principle of respect for the value and preciousness of each person, treating each person as a unique individual of inherent worth.

These three values are the pillars of virtue that drive all we do. They are qualities that we believe sustain a well-rounded life and a thriving society. We will support and facilitate the acquisition and strengthening of these virtues across our school community and beyond.

School Development Plan

Our school development plan is reviewed annually and underpins our mission for all children to be able to learn, achive and succeed. The priorities for 2024/25 are:-

Reading

Writing

Maths

Curriculum

Behaviour

Each priority is linked to a SMART objective and supported by action plants that set out milestones to be achieved in the course of the year.

Delivery of this plan and these milestones is overseen by the Governing Body of Sir Francis Hill.
