Hobbayne lies at the heart of the Hanwell community and celebrates the diversity of ethnic and social backgrounds represented in the school. We provide an inclusive, secure, happy and purposeful learning environment which reflects our ethos of 'Caring, Sharing and Learning', and in which attention is paid to the development of the whole child. An exceptional range of extra-curricular activities is provided by a committed team of staff and independent providers. We are particularly proud of the emphasis placed on sport, music and drama.
Ethos and values
Hobbayne places the highest value on learning and
teaching, providing staff with the appropriate professional
development and resources to enable them to create the optimum
learning environment for children. We put the learner at the heart
of everything we do, placing a strong emphasis on equal
opportunities for all, raising children’s self-esteem and nurturing
their independence. We want every child to fulfil their academic,
social, spiritual and emotional potential.
Summary of special educational needs policy
We are proud of our inclusive, whole-school
approach to special needs. Our team of teachers, teaching
assistants and learning support assistants works closely with
our inclusion manager and with parents and outside agencies to put
the child at the centre. We put a high priority on early diagnosis
and intervention, ensuring that resources and training are of the
highest quality so that children have the appropriate support to
reach their potential.
