Vision & Values

Valuing our Individuals, Celebrating our Learning

Our vision at Hazel Court is to provide:

Independence and preparation for life after school
Inclusion, equal opportunities and knowledge of children's rights
A total communication environment
Challenging but realistic teaching and learning opportunities
A caring and nurturing school with opportunities to develop self-esteem
Team work and multidisciplinary working in all that we do
A close working relationship with parents/carers and all stakeholders
Well managed resources for the benefit of all learners

Hazel Court Core Aspirations:

To develop communication skills and be confident and effective communicators
To have choices and be included in the wider community
To be independent and prepared for adult life
To be supported by an ethos of collaborative working and close partnership with families
To be healthy physically and emotionally

In order to meet these aspirations, the two phases operate in slightly different ways: The Secondary Department aims are for pupils to be educated following a mainstream model but with an emphasis on the individual needs of each child. The FE Department aims are to prepare the students for post school provision; continued education and supported living. Therefore, the emphasis is on independent living, work experience and students being able to take part in activities with a wider range of staff and students.

Our vision and aspirations are reflected in our school values:
