At Hodge Clough Primary School, we recognise that the personal development of pupils, spiritually, morally, socially and culturally plays a significant part in their ability to learn and achieve. We therefore aim to provide an education that provides children with opportunities to explore and develop their own values and beliefs, spiritual awareness, high standards of personal behaviour, a positive caring attitude towards other people, an understanding of their social and cultural traditions and an appreciation of the diversity and richness of other cultures. This is embeded throughout all aspects of school life.
to ensure pupils’ education at Hodge Clough Primary School is holistic rather than focussed narrowly on purely academic aspects of learning.
to provide pupils with a rounded education, including learning how to work and play together, understanding and respecting others’ points of view, respecting the environment, respecting and applying rules and understanding why these exist.
