Our Core Values

  (The 6 values in bold link to our work on Growth Mindset)

Key Skills we would like our children to achieve:

• Develop the basic skills to look after their own needs.
• To have secure literacy and numeracy skills.
• To be able to express themselves clearly and appropriately.
• To be able to listen to others and respond in the right way.
• To take responsibility and respect own and others needs and feelings.
• To show good manners at all times.
• To develop an enquiring mind and an enthusiasm and enjoyment for learning.

How will my child benefit from being at Hatch Warren Infant School?

• We work as a team to provide a happy, safe, secure environment for learning. Your child will be valued, praised and celebrated for their efforts and achievements – big or small. All classes are mixed ability and teachers provide exciting "hands-on" learning opportunities that challenge thinking. Work is always planned at the appropriate level for each child and our aim is for pupils to become confident, motivated, enthusiastic learners for life.

What happens if my child is able or talented?

• We are committed to providing enrichment and extension opportunities for pupils who are exceptionally able or particularly talented. 

What happens if my child needs support?

• Approximately 25% of pupils will need some form of learning support at some point in their school life. This may be because of physical, learning or behavioural needs and may be short term or more permanent. We use a range of methods to monitor and diagnose children’s needs and involve parents in this process as part of our ongoing good practice.
• Children with identified Special Educational Needs (SEN) have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) created for them. The IEP identifies targets to help them progress and additional provision and support to help them achieve these. This is generally given within the classroom, but small groups and individuals can be withdrawn on occasions when it is thought appropriate. These targets are carefully monitored and parents are regularly updated as part of our commitment to working with parents to support learning.
• Occasionally, children need the support of other agencies from outside school and we work very closely with a number of providers in education, health and social services. A full copy of our Special Educational Needs policy is available from the school office or website and our Headteacher or Deputy would again be very pleased to answer any questions you may have.
