At Hazelwick School, we have very high expectations of each and every student.  We believe that every individual is able to achieve their maximum potential – academically, socially, morally and culturally.  We are committed to providing excellent teaching that enables all students to reach the highest academic standard of which they are capable.  In addition, we offer a broad range of experiences outside the classroom, giving every student many opportunities to develop a wide variety of skills, qualities and attributes.

We want to foster in all our students confidence, creativity, curiosity and a sense of wonder, therefore developing a commitment to learning as a lifelong process.

Hazelwick is a community where we promote positive behaviour, politeness and respect in all of our relationships.  Courtesy, good manners, kindness, fairness and hard work are all fostered and celebrated.  We believe in the importance of valuing every member of our school community and in ensuring a culture of respect, acceptance and appreciation of the uniqueness of all.  We actively promote equality and diversity so that we can continue to enjoy being a harmonious, inclusive and caring community.

We want to prepare every student to take an active and responsible place in society and to be effective and positive contributors to the local and wider society. We aim to nurture positive attitudes to self-discipline, self-reliance, and self-respect, so that all students can leave Hazelwick as self-assured, confident, happy, positive young people, who understand the importance of personal responsibility.

The Hazelwick school motto ‘Effort Achieves’ was first established over 60 years ago, and is still absolutely relevant today – because we know that it is effort, coupled with resilience, that is the most important factor in success.
