Character development is a very important aspect of life at Hadleigh Junior School. Our Core Values of  being Resilient, Independent, Creative and Inquisitive are evident in all aspects of school life. Having such strong values supports our pupils to develop a growth mind-set, high standards of behaviour, and adaptability that will stand them in good stead as they progress through their education and onto future employment.

We aim to provide an environment where pupils feel safe, supported, and encouraged to achieve fully, becoming lifelong learners.

We recognise parents and carers play a vital role in aiding children to make personal and academic progress, and so we develop effective home-school partnerships through communication, workshops, information meetings and targeted engagement projects.

We are committed to collaborating with the wider school community and the rich local area is central to our creative curriculum. Our dedicated professionals skilfully incorporate the resources on our doorstep into purposeful, engaging learning, both within and outside of our classrooms.

Mr. Glenn Moore
