Ethos & Values

Democracy The Rule of Law Individual Liberty Mutual Respect Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

Castle Hill High School is committed to serving its community. We recognise the multi-cultural, multi-faith and ever-changing nature of the United Kingdom. We also understands the vital role we have in ensuring that groups or individuals within the school are not subjected to intimidation or radicalisation by those wishing to unduly, or illegally, influence them. Castle Hill High School is committed to actively promoting British values to ensure our pupils leave us fully prepared for life in modern Britain. The government emphasises that all schools should ensure that they teach pupils about British values. We take every opportunity to promote the fundamental British values of: Democracy, The Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Mutual Respect, Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs. Through the promotion of these values, our school aims to ensure pupils: understand the democratic process and how citizens can have a say in decision making; recognise the advantages of living under the rule of law and how law is essential for a safe society; know why freedom of religion protects all faiths, as well as those with no faith; accept that people who hold different religious beliefs should be tolerated and not discriminated against. Value the importance of identifying and combatting extremism. We promote British values both within and beyond the classroom and these values are at the heart of our ethos.

Head Teacher's Message

At Castle Hill we offer an inclusive learning environment that encourages students to take active control of their learning and behaviour, to embrace challenge and to develop into responsible adults. Our aim is to provide an education which is dynamic, relevant and worthwhile and which prepares our students for independence, the world of work and life beyond Castle Hill.
