At Hillcrest, we provide each student with the opportunity to achieve their full potential in both academic and social terms. We have very high expectations of our students. Great emphasis is placed on self-discipline and self-respect hard work and achievement and high standards of behavior.
We have a highly qualified team of staff committed to delivering quality education to all our students. Your child will enter a safe and secure environment in which high-quality learning can take place effectively. We are proud to play our part in helping students become the thoughtful, caring, confident, and well-educated young adults of tomorrow.
Hillcrest School and Sixth Form Centre is a safe and respectful learning environment where every child is valued as an individual with unique talents and ambitions. We:
- Are an outward-looking and confident community, actively promoting the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
- Are a happy, responsible, and fair school respected by the community?
- Improve our environment to meet the educational demands of the twenty-first century.
- Raise expectations and achievement for all.
- Prepare everyone for the challenges of modern Britain and a changing world and develop a passion for life-long learning.
We believe our school is an ideal size since it is large enough to provide a full range of subjects and to enable us to employ specialist teachers, but not so large that the individual becomes lost in the crowd. Hillcrest is committed to ensuring all members of our learning community have equal opportunities to achieve their potential.
At Hillcrest, we deliver a curriculum that works to develop effective, independent learners to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world. To achieve this staff use a “ten-point outstanding lesson checklist” to plan their lessons, ensuring all lessons enable rapid and sustained progress. The school also has a range of support and administrative staff who work with both students and teachers daily. The Hillcrest School curriculum meets the specifications of both the National Curriculum programs of study and also the Birmingham Curriculum Statement.
