Hillside Infant School

[EduCativ]

Every child is allowed to be the best that they can be. Every child is encouraged to ensure that their rights and the rights of others are respected.

At Hillside Infant School we aim to provide a happy, caring, safe and secure environment for all our pupils. We offer a nurturing and highly supportive atmosphere, and we believe each child is unique. Our staff team works hard to support each child's individual needs. We believe in strong parent partnerships for our children to become independent and curious learners and be fully equipped for the next stage of their education.

At Hillside School we encourage every child 'To be the best that they can be'. Our ethos centers around our four key values which are

• Trying our Best Every Day
• Kindness and Honesty
• Working as a Hillside Team
• Using Good Manners

Our priority is to ensure that children have an excellent start to their education and are provided with an exciting curriculum to reach their full potential and achieve the highest standards possible.

We work closely with parents and provide workshops and regular meetings on how to help children make good progress. We share individual pupil targets and children’s progress is regularly tracked and progress reviewed.

At Hillside Infant School we are polite and respectful, we say please and thank you, we respect the equipment in school and we help our friends to tidy up. We respect our elders, we are learning to listen, we wait for our friends to finish speaking before we speak, we do not shout out in class and we enjoy listening to music. We take turns and share, during conversations, when we are reading in a group-standing in a queue, and during games with friends.

We teach children to understand their emotional makeup and those of others. We promote common values that highlight diversity and equality, human rights, and responsibility. We deal with any allegations of bullying or harassment connected with prejudice and our exclusion and behavior policies do not discriminate against any groups. We are part of the local community. We visit Ruislip Lido, Emmanuel Church, Northwood Hills Library, and Northwood Hills local shops.

We celebrate British festivals: Pancake Day, Mother’s Day, St. David’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day-St. George’s Day, Easter, May Day, Father’s Day, Bonfire Night, Harvest Festival, Remembrance Day, St. Andrew’s Day, and Christmas. We learn about Britain and its different cultures. We eat British foods: roast dinners-seasonal fruit, vegetables, fish and chips. We learn about the Monarchy and its history.

We learn about the world around us. We celebrate special multicultural days from our local community and the wider world. We use books and the internet to find out about people from different cultures and with different beliefs.
