Our Vision and Values
Our school is a fun place to be and there is always something happening to enhance an already exciting curriculum.
"Where all children learn and discover together to create a better world."
The Four Elements - R I P E
There are Four Elements that are used throughout the school and promoted and demonstrated by every member of the Hillcrest Community. Each Element can be expressed as a skill to practise and a virtue to embody.
These Skills and Virtues provide a template for the high expectations we have for behaviour and attitudes towards learning, as well as a common language to use when talking to children about all aspects of life at Hillcrest.
We believe that through our promotion of The Four Elements we not only enable children to become independent learners but we also prepare children to succeed in life in modern Britain.
RESILIENCE – Perseverance & Positivity
INNOVATION – Critical Thinking & Creativity
PARTNERSHIPS – Collaboration & Respect
EXCELLENCE – Precision & Pride
Here are the images we use to promote the Four Elements around the school, and help pupils reflect upon the Element they are using and developing. These also feature on the stickers used to celebrate pupils' achievement, and on the certificates that are given out in our Celebration Assemblies.
