QUALITY MARKS

Quality Marks - Hazel Court School

Hazel Court is an Outstanding School

Hazel Court were awarded an Ofsted Outstanding Grade in June 2024.

"The school makes a profound difference to pupils’ lives, helping them to manage and overcome significant challenges. It is highly ambitious for its pupils, and rightly so. Pupils thrive because of the school’s exceptionally strong curriculum, skilful teaching and high-quality care. They achieve extremely well, both personally and academically. All school leavers go on to meaningful destinations. Those who are due to leave at the end of this term are looking forward to the move because they have been very well prepared for the transition."

SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social, Cultural) Quality Mark

Hazel Court gained the SMSC Gold level rating using the Young Citizens self-review tool in July 2021.

Young Citizens worked with experts in the field to create the SMSC self-review tool and verification service, to help schools implement their vision and improve their delivery of pupils’ SMSC Development.

This involves schools being assessed against four quality standards in SMSC:

Standard 1: The Effectiveness of Leadership and Management

Standard 2: Teaching, Learning and the Curriculum

Standard 3: Extra-Curricular Provision

Standard 4: Whole School

The SMSC Quality Mark has been developed to ensure that children and young people are able to make a positive difference to the society in which they live – locally, nationally and globally. Through SMSC education, we help our students to develop knowledge, skills and confidence and become empowered citizens.

East Sussex Quality Mark for Inclusion

The East Sussex Quality Mark for Inclusion was awarded to Hazel Court school in July 2018 and has been developed to maintain an inclusion standard threshold in our local area and acknowledge inclusive practice already embedded in East Sussex schools.

Practice expected for the East Sussex Quality Mark for Inclusion will aid educational settings to identify areas for development feeding directly into school improvement, and areas of potential excellence.

The East Sussex Quality Mark for Inclusion can also be used as evidence reflecting leadership and governance, the value given to the views of all stakeholders and a pursuance of best practice for all children and young adults, particularly those most vulnerable.
