Values and Vision

We believe that every child has the right to go to a good school and that every child should have the opportunity to transform their life, whatever their starting point.  Five key questions underpin our vision of 'transforming lives through inspirational education':

Are we securing equity?

Is our leadership driving improvement?

Is our curriculum irrestible?

Are we research informed?

Are we managing resources effectively?

The Henry Box School is one of the founding schools of The Mill Academy Trust.  Schools, staff and children within the Trust benefit from a strong ethos of support and collaboration.  We also challenge ourselves to be even better, every day.  We are not content with always doing what we've always done.  The new educational landscape requires new ways of thinking, leading and operating and, at Henry Box, we aim to build on tradition and educate for the future.
