Vision and Values

At Old Hill Primary, we strive to equip every child with the values and skills they need to flourish in an ever-changing world. Guided by our core values - Be Respectful, Be Hardworking, Be Curious - we foster a culture where effort is celebrated, perseverance is nurtured and challenges are seen as opportunities to grow.

Respect underpins everything we do - respect for ourselves, for others, and for our community. We prioritise safety in all its forms, ensuring our children learn how to make informed, responsible choices both offline and online, so they can navigate the world with confidence, care, and integrity.

We teach our pupils to work hard with pride and determination, knowing that progress comes through commitment and resilience. We encourage them to stay curious, to ask questions, explore ideas and develop a lifelong love of learning.

 

 

Respect

We teach our pupils to respect one another, the wider community, and the environment. By fostering kindness, empathy, and understanding, we create a positive and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

Hard Work

We believe that a strong work ethic enables pupils to achieve more than they think is possible. Our staff encourages pupils to adopt a hardworking mindset, knowing that consistent effort leads to personal growth and academic success. 

Chop your own wood and it will warm you twice.

– Henry Ford

Curiosity

We encourage curiosity as a key driver of learning. By inspiring pupils to explore, question, and seek knowledge, we nurture a lifelong love of learning that extends far beyond their school years.

These values not only support our pupils in their academic journey but also help them grow into exceptional individuals and responsible citizens.
