Vision & Values - Hazel Court School 

Valuing our Individuals, Celebrating our Learning

Our vision at Hazel Court is to provide:

• Independence and preparation for life after school

• Inclusion, equal opportunities and knowledge of children's rights

• A total communication environment

• Challenging but realistic teaching and learning opportunities

• A caring and nurturing school with opportunities to develop self-esteem

• Team work and multidisciplinary working in all that we do

• A close working relationship with parents/carers and all stakeholders

• Well managed resources for the benefit of all learners

Hazel Court Core Aspirations:

• To develop communication skills and be confident and effective communicators

• To have choices and be included in the wider community

• To be independent and prepared for adult life

• To be supported by an ethos of collaborative working and close partnership with families

• To be healthy physically and emotionally

In order to meet these aspirations, the two phases operate in slightly different  ways:   The Secondary Department aims are for pupils to be educated following a  mainstream model but with an emphasis on the individual needs of each child. The FE Department aims are to prepare the students for post school provision;   continued education and supported living. Therefore, the emphasis is on independent living, work experience and students being able to take part in activities with a wider range of staff and students.

Our vision and aspirations are reflected in our school values:

• Talking and listening

• Keeping safe

• Working together

• Being helpful and kind

• Being independent
