ABOUT OUR SCHOOL

At Hartland High School, we have built our ethos on strong core values which underpin everything that we do - Work Hard, and Be Kind. Our aim is to give students at Hartland High School a better chance of success than if they attended any other school in the country.

Our core values permeate all that we do. In our achievement-oriented culture, teaching and learning is our highest priority. We want our students to be healthy and have a great life. We are deeply committed to opening the hearts and minds of our future-focused young people.

The School is on a rapid trajectory of improvement that will be sustained over many years, it is a chance to be part of something very special. It will support career development and equip you for further development opportunities within the School and within our Trust. We are based in Reading in Berkshire, a culturally rich and bustling area of the country providing good access to Oxford and London. The area we serve is diverse, and therefore our catchment and students offer a range of expectations and challenges, being able to drive ambitions is key. This school will be one of the best schools in the country in the near future, and this is an incredible opportunity to join us on the start of our improvement journey.

Working Hard and Being Kind are present through all aspects of school life.

Work Hard

We have a strong desire and determination to achieve success, which includes working to the best of our ability at all times to meet our goals. We believe there are no limits to what can be achieved, meaning we do what it takes for as long as it takes in order to be successful.

Be Kind

We endeavour to model the kindness and compassion that should be shown to all every day, to ensure that this is embedded into our culture. We spread the message that no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted, and encourage our students to do the same. This has helped us create a positive and friendly environment where staff and students alike can thrive and reach their full potential.
