Are you worn down by all the adjectives you’re supposed to be?

Our vision is simple; we create futures and that includes ensuring our staff have them too! At Heart of England we are clear in our approach to professional wellbeing, which is crucial at a time of ever-shifting challenge and educational requirement.
For our staff we believe in agency and the right level of autonomy for the stage you’re at. We believe that the same intellectual curiosity that lead you to want to study your subject at university and then teach it to others is what makes you best placed to make decisions about the way you teach your subject now. We believe that when it comes to learning and teaching our motto, “No One Way … By Design” does not signify limitless variety. Our focus is on evidence based teaching and the selection of the best method at the right time. We all bring variety to our roles, however, excellent outcomes are forged through consistent application of what has been proven to work.
Each department has designed its own curriculum for KS3 following the sequence of knowledge and skills they believe to be essential for students as they develop through the years. Our behaviour policy has the motto ‘Our One Way…By Design’ showing that clear boundaries and consistency form the bedrock of a successful school. Another thing about us: we’re not in to quick fixes or superficial tweaks; we’re in it for sustainable excellence. Our current strategic plan outlines a 5 year journey, not a one year journey 5 times over.
