Our Ethos and Values
At Hope Wood, our young people are at the heart of our school community and our priority is to deliver a high-quality curriculum through rich and truly enjoyable and inspiring learning experiences for all individuals.
Everything we do as a school focuses on preparing our young people for life after Hope Wood and building independence in preparation for adulthood. We are deeply aware that young people only get one chance at their education and it is our duty to ensure that they all reach the highest levels of personal achievement and development.
We want every young person to achieve life long success, whatever that may look like for the individual; to reach for success from the very first day they join us and throughout their school lives so that when they leave us, they have a love of learning for the rest of their lives and are well equipped for adulthood.
Our Mission Statement
To provide a welcoming and purposeful environment where young people can flourish because their rights, needs, and aspirations are met.
