We are passionate about discovering the things that really make our pupils tick and we believe this is the key to them finding joy in all aspects their learning.
Our recipe for success is a ‘real world’ learning environment built on outstanding Pastoral support which builds confidence and excellence across all areas of learning.
This is our approach from the moment our pupils join us, and it is built on a profound belief that when young people are valued, supported, known, and engaged in their learning, they can achieve amazing things. Our whole community share a genuine eagerness to learn, we embrace failure as a learning tool and we celebrate individual success collectively.
Our location at the heart of our city is a major strength, helping us create fully grounded young people who are connected to this real-world environment and understand the importance of being themselves and finding their passions.Â
We are proud that our young people are confident but not arrogant and we believe that this is a ‘superpower’ that will be the key to their ongoing success and ability to change the world for the better.
There is an urgency for us to nurture young people who can tackle pressing global issues head on. We aspire to nurture our pupils to make informed decisions based on our shared core values and to foster emotional intelligence, empathy and kindness at the heart of everything.
We would love to welcome you to HSD to experience our exceptional learning experience for yourself and to consider how we can bring out the very best in your child.
I look forward to meeting you in person and welcoming you and your family into the HSD Family.
