Childs Hill School

[EduCativ]

Childs Hill School is a restorative school. We inspire children to achieve their full potential through passionate teaching that develops confidence, curiosity, and independent learning within a safe, supportive and inclusive environment.
Childs Hill School is a diverse, vibrant learning community where expectations and standards are high. Our children make huge progress in terms of learning, creativity, and their understanding of themselves and others. We are very proud of what they achieve and we are relentless in our efforts to ensure that they are academically, socially, and emotionally prepared for the future.
Childs Hill is fairly unique in that we are more than just a primary school. Pathways, our dedicated ARP (autistic resource provision) offers 12 pupils a personalized learning experience as they learn alongside pupils in the main school as well as receiving specialist teaching. Pathways enrich the school experience we offer to all our pupils. The final part of the Childs Hill jigsaw is our popular nursery class in which we ensure children make a positive start to their time at Childs Hill. Our nursery class offers full-time and part-time nursery places.
Childs Hill School prides itself on being a Restorative School. We feel our restorative approach (RA) is central to whom we are, and that it permeates all areas of school life. It touches all our community members (pupils, staff, parents, carers, governors, visitors, students, etc).
RA is an approach to behavior management where shared values, a caring attitude, good relationships, mutual respect, and a sense of belonging are key factors. RA is about empowerment, giving everyone a voice.RA acknowledges that conflicts and behaviors happen. Rather than seeking to blame and dispense punishment, RA repairs harm by finding acceptable ways to move forward for all parties concerned. This helps avoid conflicts by investing time in developing, maintaining, and repairing relationships.
We believe that success comes from creating an open, nurturing, and stimulating environment. At Childs Hill we recognize that relationships matter whether you are in the classroom, working with other schools, or helping our community, everyone feels safe, secure, and above all happy. At our school, we support one another through Staff who are approachable and prepared to go the ‘extra mile’. The use of restorative approaches to solving problems. 1:1 tuition for those needing a ‘boost’. ‘Breakfast Club ’ helps ensure a positive start to the day. Extracurricular clubs including art, dance, choir, film club, taekwondo, and ballet. Residential trips building from one night to five nights away throughout the school.
We believe that the most effective learning comes from having hands-on enjoyable and memorable experiences that feed the imagination and fuel the desire to find out more. At Childs Hill the Arts flourish as artists, storytellers and actors regularly work alongside the children.
At Childs Hill we constantly aim to raise children’s aspirations, helping them to become lifelong learners. We want to equip them to succeed in the 21st Century as we are not just educating the children of today but citizens of the future.
We want our children to become responsible, active citizens who participate in democracy and public life with respect for diversity and a commitment to working towards greater community cohesion. Personal, Social, Health Education and Citizenship is at the heart of our school which emphasizes the difference between right and wrong and respecting and tolerating differences in a very diverse and modern Britain. We have planned a curriculum that will enable children to make progress towards these aims. Through engaging lessons and appropriate activities, we can give them all a better understanding of themselves and others in the ‘community of communities in which they live. We can secure and influence behavior and attendance and encourage further involvement and commitment to education.
