The Hart School is a school where all students and staff have the opportunity to grow as individuals and to be inspired. We believe in the potential of all young people to grow and succeed at the highest levels regardless of their starting points or personal circumstances. Our curriculum is engineered to be ambitious and accessible for all students.

We will guide students through a wide variety of challenging opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom as we aim to provide a fully inclusive learning environment which celebrates curiosity, working hard and being resilient.

We want our students to flourish as knowledgeable and aspirational citizens who are ready to participate and grow in a rapidly changing world. We plan for the acquisition of as much knowledge, skills and experiences as possible whilst at The Hart School.

The ethos of education at The Hart School is that all students know more, remember more and have the ability to be able to choose their future path because we have provided the right foundations for them to step confidently forward.

Curriculum Vision

We want every pupil to leave The Hart School with excellent exam results; that is why we offer an exciting and varied curriculum.  We know that every learner can be successful if we find the way to tap into their interests with an imaginative approach to teaching, and we believe that every child deserves to choose from a wide range of subjects.

Our curriculum is rooted in the National Curriculum and therefore gives pupils knowledge and skills needed in order to take advantage of opportunities in later life. Our curriculum remains as broad as possible for as long as possible.  A wide mix of vocational and academic options in KS4 give pupils choice and is linked to local opportunity and pursuing academic excellence.
