Learning and achievement drive everything that we do at Hillingdon Primary School. Our job, in partnership with parents, is to build the foundations for a successful education, to enable each child to discover the joy of learning, to help them to fulfill every aspect of their potential, and to encourage their growth into effective citizens, ready to play their part in the world and their community.
We work hard to ensure that every child is successful in the key areas of English and Maths and we are keen to see this recognized in the results they secure. However, we also want them to learn and experience more than this through a varied curriculum and a range of extra-curricular and after-school opportunities that complement our work in the classroom. We value each child as an individual and aim to provide the opportunities for pupils to excel in areas where they have a special talent whether this is in science, in sport, in drama, in art, in music, or through involvement in our school council.
Hillingdon Primary and Nursery School is an academy school situated on Uxbridge Road in the area known as Hillingdon Heath. There has been a school on the site for over 100 years.
At Hillingdon Primary School our mission is to ensure that everyone is happy, caring, and independent and that our school is a place where we can learn together and do our best.
At Hillingdon Primary, we are committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all pupils, staff, parents, and carers receiving services from the school, irrespective of race, gender, disability, religion, and belief, or socio-economic background. We aim to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity in which all those connected to the school feel proud of their identity and able to participate fully in school life.
The achievement of pupils will be monitored by race, gender, and disability and we will use this data to support pupils, raise standards and ensure inclusive teaching. We will tackle discrimination by the positive promotion of equality, challenging bullying and stereotypes, and creating an environment that champions respect for all. At Hillingdon Primary, we believe that diversity is a strength, which should be respected and celebrated by all those who learn, teach and visit here.
The principle of Equal Opportunities is central to every aspect of school life. We strive to ensure that every pupil achieves their full potential. Our strong commitment to Equal Opportunities and Race Equality is set out clearly in the school’s Equality Policy documents.
Our aims are for every child to:
- Be happy, safe, confident, responsible, and independent in a secure, stimulating environment that provides positive opportunities for success for all ages, races, genders, and abilities
- Enjoy acquiring knowledge, skills, and abilities in all areas of the curriculum - cognitive, physical, social, emotional, creative, and spiritual, with particular emphasis on language and number skills
- Take increasing responsibility for his/her learning within a stimulating, structured environment where expectations are high
- Develop, through a variety of learning experiences, creativity, problem-solving skills, the ability to make informed choices, and the enthusiasm for discovery that will remain the basis for future learning
- Have respect and care for everyone in the school community, and to recognize and value his/her contribution and that made by others to its general well being
- Develop an increasing appreciation, understanding, respect, and tolerance for other people and the physical environment, both locally and in the wider world
The curriculum at Hillingdon Primary School has been created to engage children in their learning, whether academic, social, sporting, or being creative. It is one of the tools put in place to fulfill our school aims, ensuring that children are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that will help them to succeed in life.
