Welcome

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am proud to welcome you to Hillside Infant School and to our website. We hope that you will find this website helpful whether your child already attends Hillside or if you are considering enroling them at our wonderful school.

At Hillside Infant School we aim to provide a happy, caring and safe environment for all our pupils. We offer a nurturing and highly supportive atmosphere, and we believe each child is unique. Our staff team work hard to support each child's individual needs. We believe in strong parent partnerships in order for our children to become independent and curious learners and be fully equipped for the next stage of their education.

There is a real sense of community at this school. Pupils thrive here. This is because staff get to know pupils and their families, so they understand what they need in order to achieve well.

At Hillside School we encourage every child 'to be the best that they can be'. Our ethos centres around our four key values, which are;

Trying our Best Every Day

Kindness and Honesty

Working as a Hillside Team

Using Good Manners

Our priority is to ensure that children have an excellent start to their education and are provided with an exciting curriculum in order to reach their full potential and achieve the highest standards possible. We have a strong belief in a 'practical and purposeful' curriculum. We believe children learn best when provided with a range of hands-on activities that stimulate their curiosity and enjoyment and therefore make learning more memorable.

We work closely with parents and carers, and provide many opportunities for families to learn about school life. Our learning together mornings provide a valuable opportunity for parents and carers to develop their knowledge of the curriculum and how to support children at home. We regularly host workshops and meetings on how to help children make good progress. We celebrate children's successes through our weekly achievement assembly, which parents are invited to.

I hope that this website provides you with a range of information about the school, its organisation and aims. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

I look forward to meeting you.

Mrs. Rebecca Fennell

Headteacher
