School Aims and Vision

At Halwin School, we CARE –

Confidence, Aspiration, Resilience, Enjoyment

  • We actively promote our CARE ethos to which everyone positively contributes and in which self-esteem flourishes.
  • We provide a welcoming, safe and happy school where everyone is respected and listened to.
  • We strive to promote positive British values by being an integral part of our local, national and international communities.
  • We value and take pride in the achievements of all individuals.
  • Pupils are socially, academically and morally prepared for their next educational steps; becoming successful learners who are not afraid to make mistakes.
  • Pupils are encouraged to be independent, self-disciplined, imaginative, creative and fair in all aspects of school life.

We have designed a vocabulary rich curriculum that connects learning by building an understanding of ideas, concepts, chronology and themes through the framework of ‘here, there and then, now, next’. These thinking threads link learning meaningfully to create opportunities to learn from the past and present as well as equipping children for an ever-changing and exciting future.

Our drivers are our ‘thinking threads’ that guide our curriculum choices.
