Hewens College forms part of The Rosedale Hewens Academy Trust, providing education for children aged 11 to 19. The College is committed to creating a learning environment where every student has the opportunity to make good progress and achieve their full potential. Our partnership with other schools within the Trust enables us to make a positive difference in the education we deliver for our students by offering them a broad and innovative curriculum that engages, enthuses, and inspires. Our successful focus on accelerated learning confirmed the tremendous potential of our gifted and talented students. We have successfully created many opportunities for our students to achieve high academic results but we also create many opportunities that inspire personal confidence and allow for and encourage students’ personal and social development.
We are committed to working in partnership with parents, guardians, and carers as we believe this is essential to meet our target of providing an outstanding education. We also routinely carry out rigorous and robust self-evaluation and encourage feedback from all those involved with our College community.
Hewens College provides a caring environment where students develop both socially and academically as individuals who can be proud of themselves. Our fundamental aim is to do the very best we can for our community of learners. There can be no doubt that staff and governors alike are fully committed to delivering the best possible outcomes for everyone in their care so that Hewens is a place 'where education transforms lives.
We are ambitious for each individual and through our innovative curriculum and structure, seek to build self-esteem and raise aspirations. Our intensive and systematic monitoring and tracking of students ensures that they receive appropriate support at all times during their school career.
We believe in education in its broadest sense. Extra-curricular activities are of the utmost importance and an integral part of the overall education of our students. We run a program of events, which both complement coursework and also offer other unique experiences.
Great importance is placed on communication with our parents, guardians, and carers. Consultation and academic tutoring meetings for students and their parents, guardians, and carers provide the opportunity to discuss, in detail, progress and achievement as well as the way forward.
Hewens is an inclusive College. We work hard to create a community in which all individuals feel valued. We believe that a community thrives when it is built upon respect for individuals, for the environment, for the property. Ours is a College where good manners are important. We want our students to grow into polite, considerate, and responsible members of society. Our aim is supported by our policy of rewarding achievement and by the opportunities we provide for adopting responsible positions within the College.
Hewens College is committed to raising standards and improving levels of achievement. Promoting good behavior so that all our students are focused on learning is a very important aspect of raising standards and has a direct and positive impact on teaching, learning, and attainment.
The Hewens College Behaviour for Learning Policy sets out clear expectations of good behavior and focuses on encouraging self-discipline in an atmosphere of mutual respect and tolerance. This approach places a far greater emphasis on rewarding good behavior and achievement and motivates all students to take on positive roles within their lessons or form activities.
Hewens College consistently strives to provide outstanding education and make a genuine difference to the lives of all its students through high-quality teaching and learning, supported by strong leadership and management.
