The wellbeing of our children and staff at Hazelbury is paramount and our ethos ensures that everybody feels valued and heard.

The Wellbeing of our Children

We have a strong growth mindset ethos across the school that encourages independence and resilience, enabling children to use these skills in any given situation. Each half-term, our children apply this to create their own learning vlogs to reflect on their academic progress. This fosters ownership of education by encouraging them to set future learning goals.

Our nurturing culture is also promoted through our Hazelbury Families, where our children learn collaboratively and create relationships with children of all ages across the school.

The delivery of our PSHE curriculum embeds the importance of mental and physical wellbeing and our children develop an understanding of how is valued by themselves and others. Our PSHE education helps pupils to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage many of the critical opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face as they grow up and in adulthood.

We are able to provide every child with breakfast each morning when they arrive at school, as we work with the charity Magic Breakfast.

The Wellbeing of our Staff

The wellbeing of our staff is a high priority for Hazelbury and we have designed our way of working to encompass this ethos. Our staff retention is excellent due to the opportunities and importance we place on valuing their contribution. We have considered teacher workload, including assessment and marking and created much more effective practices to ensure workload is reduced and pupil progress is increased. We provide staff incentives as well as equipping our staff with the very best technology, e.g. all teachers use Macbooks so that they can provide the very best resources for teaching and learning. The voice of our staff is always heard and they contribute to the development of our curriculum.
