Safe journey
Supported to succeed
Our belief in a shared value system ensures an
orderly, supportive and safe school environment
which allows learners to thrive.
Pupils are carefully organised into Year 7 tutor
groups and a residential experience reinforces
these new groupings. It kick-starts new
relationships, fosters friendships and a sense of
shared responsibility which is developed further
as the tutor group, with their Tutor and Pastoral
Manager, move through years 7-11 together.
These key adults oversee personal and academic
development during daily tutor time and termly
tutor periods. Pupils are regularly rewarded for
their achievements through our merit system and
their success is celebrated in assemblies and at
graduation events. Our Pastoral Managers are
on-call throughout the day and have an excellent
reputation for resolving any anxieties, pupil or
parental, communicating effectively and efficiently.
We use many vehicles for parental engagement
and to give parents a voice – evening events to
share information at key moments on the learning
journey, the website ‘feedback’, the Learning
Gateway, student diaries, graduation ceremonies,
Friends of Hardenhuish parents’ association,
parent and pupil consultations.
We encourage pupils to set aspirational targets
and we support them through regular dialogue
with our parents so that we can match, or
exceed, expectations.
