School Description

Pupils enjoy their time at Hill Park. They are keen to tell visitors about what they like about their school. They are inquisitive and friendly. They notice when their friends need help. They are not afraid to celebrate when others achieve well. They are openly proud and supportive of peers who contributed positively and confidently to discussions with inspectors. Expectations of behaviour are suitably high, equally so for children in early years. The school environment is mostly calm and orderly. Adults and pupils interact well together. Playtimes are active and harmonious. Pupils say they feel free from bullying. They show good manners, including when visitors are hit by footballs in the playground! Pupils say they feel safe at school. They appreciate the support that teachers give them to help them learn. This includes when they struggle because they feel that the work is difficult. Pupils are positive about the care they receive when they are feeling unhappy or cross. Secondary phase pupils shared that the ‘just right’ system really helps them regulate their behaviour and understand their emotions. Older pupils are also excited about sport on Fridays and the prospect of residential trips that are opening up once more.
