Our teachers are developed professionally to include the best classroom practices into their teaching routines, and a key routine is for each teacher to forge a positive and strong working relationship with each of their pupils.

A teacher’s role will always include the duty to extend those pupils who are ready for additional challenge, and to offer support to those who require more help. Teachers at Hastings will encourage their pupils to develop a growth mindset where achievement and effort are celebrated equally, where mistakes and errors are known to provide excellent learning opportunities, and the only unacceptable philosophy is that which leads to ‘giving-up’.
