Head Teacher's welcome

A school is more than just a place where students come to learn. It is also a place where a community develops and thrives. At Hove Park it is a place where we come together to support each other achieve whether it is in the classroom learning, on the sports field competing or on the stage performing, we know that success comes from us all working together.

Student progress will always remain a key priority because outcomes so often dictate future pathways and opportunities for young people. Having been again judged by Ofsted as a ‘good’ school, we continue to reflect on the structures and routines that we expect to see in every lesson. Exploring the different ways we teach to ensure we continue to drive school improvement and student achievement.

Our curriculum has been planned and developed to provide a whole education for all students. A learning journey that provides a traditional foundation at Key Stage 3 from which students can build on individual strengths. We are ambitious for all our students and expect them, where appropriate to retain a breadth to their studies through the study of EBACC subjects.

The final part of my vision for our school relates very much about the school experience each and every student will have. It is about identifying the skills, values and attributes that we believe students should develop during their time with us and the things they will see, hear, try and explore.



It is an exciting time to be part of Hove Park School as we continue to shape our future and the way we support all students to grow and achieve.
