At Hurworth Primary School, we see ourselves as a family and as such, we want to ensure that every child has access to the best start in life and are nurtured and supported so they can demonstrate the best version of themselves with the hope that they achieve their dreams and fulfil their potential.
The aim of our school is to develop children's character through positive relationships and attitudes to learning, resilience, kindness and humility. We recognise the importance of broadening our children's views and experiences beyond Hurworth to the rest of Britain and the wider world.
We do not want children in our school being defined by a set of results and this forms the bedrock of our vision and ethos.
This bedrock encompasses all of school life, but particularly the approach and policies of the school in relation to: Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE, including Relationships and Sex Education), Spiritual, Moral, Social and Moral (SMSC) aspects of school life.
