An inclusive community of acceptance, adventure, aspiration and achievement. Our motto and statement of values above, encapsulate the ethos that is held consistently by children, families, staff and governors. It was reviewed by us all in July 2023 and underpins everything that goes on at Horn's Mill.
Our policy and practice is influenced by a sensitive, trauma informed approach to the treatment of all people in our school community. As a result of this, Horn's Mill is a happy, caring and inclusive school. We are passionate about educating each child in a way that meets their individual needs.
This is possible at our school as we have a team of committed adults with a shared ethos allowing a consistent approach to teaching, learning and behaviour management. We set extremely high expectations for all staff and children, ensuring that each child can be the best that they can. We play to strengths and celebrate succes s.
