Values and vision

As a Christian community, St Hild’s’ educational offering is based on the values of care, equality, honesty and responsibility.

Students are encouraged to have increasingly high expectations of themselves and are nurtured to develop growth mindsets so that they believe that their intelligence can grow and that effort leads to success. The school offers full support so that they can achieve their academic potential, as well as develop both personally and socially.

Traditional teaching methods are complemented by innovative and creative methods of curriculum delivery.  The school takes in loco parentis seriously and makes every effort to make the decisions that parents and carers would make for their own children if they could.

Welcome from the NEAT Academy Trust CEO

“We belong to an innovative, sustainable trust working collaboratively with partners to share our vision and values that enables all learners within our influence to be well prepared personally, socially and academically for the next stage of their lives in a changing world.”

The development of our workforce is crucial to the success of our young people and joining NEAT will give you access to a wide range of CPD opportunities as you develop your career with us. Having a research school as an integral part of our trust also provides opportunities to work with other schools to use evidence-based programmes and practices and generate original research.
