School Values and Ethos

Our School Mission

As a small family school, we know and care for every child. We genuinely value and strive to enhance working partnerships with our families and our local community, knowing that in those partnerships lies our greatest strength and best hope of raising the achievement and aspirations of all our children to ensure that we really are "Educating Tomorrow's Women Today". Our aim is to ensure that the students at our school are all well-rounded individuals, not just academically but are also strong in character, confident and embrace British values.

How do we achieve our Mission

1. Having pride in our school values and keeping them at the heart of everything we do

We believe in having a clear set of school values that are at the heart of everything we do as a school. These values are the solid foundation that we have built our school on and make us proud to be Hodge Hill Girls’ School.

Partnerships: We value each member of our school community, and work in partnership to achieve the best outcomes.

Respect: We demonstrate respect for ourselves and others through our words and actions, we extend this respect to our environment.

Inspiration: We are inspired to make positive contributions to both ourselves and the wider community in our daily lives. Additionally, we actively seek to challenge ourselves and achieve our highest potential.

Determination: We display determination and resilience, persisting even in challenging circumstances. We embrace risks and rise to challenges with resolve.

Excellence: We pursue excellence by upholding high standards in all aspects of what we do. Our actions, words, attire, and outcomes reflect our professional approach.

2. Go the extra mile for our students by being more than an Educator

We are determined to be more than just education providers and must go the extra mile for our students. Using our school values as a guide, we have many opportunities which will help your child develop resilience, independence and the personal qualities, skills and attributes needed for a successful life beyond Hodge Hill Girls’ School.

There are so many wonderful opportunities for students to develop their skills, character and personal qualities at Hodge Hill Girls’ School. Alongside learning within and beyond the classroom through enrichment opportunities many girls become Prefects, School Council Representatives/House Leaders/House Captains, Librarians, Peer Mentors, Sports Leaders, Environment Ambassadors, UNICEF Ambassadors.

Our Leadership and Character Building-Programme gives students the opportunity to work through mastery and leadership skills to achieve bronze, silver and gold awards and set them apart from their peers when entering the world of work.
