Choosing the best possible educational opportunities for your child is a vitally important process. We hope you will enjoy finding out more about the opportunities and resources that are available for your children at Hertford St Andrew. Our concern for children means that whilst we place a great emphasis on standards of Maths, Literacy and other core subjects, we also aim to develop the whole child through our creative curriculum, as a result children at our school are enthusiastic, confident and independent learners. Everything that we do at Hertford St Andrew is underpinned by our Christian Ethos and Values. We are very proud of our inclusive practice and have high expectations and aspirations for all pupils. We have close links with Hertford St Andrew Church. The Reverend is very much part of the school and is actively involved in the school life as well as taking services and various assemblies.

We are a small, welcoming school at the heart of our community. We pride ourselves on our calm, friendly atmosphere which allows all children to flourish and achieve their potential. At Hollybush, we take the time to get to know your child really well, their strengths, their interests and what makes them tick. We make sure that learning is exciting, challenging and fun and we design our curriculum so that children's social and emotional skills grow alongside their knowledge and understanding of National Curriculum subjects.

Welcome to Mill Mead - a school at the very heart of the community where we believe that 'life is for learning and learning is for life'. We strive to provide pupils with a broad and enriched curriculum full of opportunities to develop their personal and social qualities as well as their knowledge and skills in different subject areas. We aim to develop a child's awareness of their place in their school, local, national and global communities to ensure that they can be effective global citizens in an ever changing world. Crucial to this is the development of their self esteem, independence and self confidence. Relationships are a strength of the school - staff enjoy positive relationships with each other and the children, and the pupils are very supportive of each other. We work closely in partnership with parents and families to ensure the best provision for their children and the continual development of the school. At Mill Mead EVERYONE matters and I hope you enjoy finding out more about us and what we do as you navigate around the website.

At Morgans we provide our children with the best possible education and opportunities for every child to reach their full potential.

We all have a 'can do' attitude and strive to keep on developing our practice to ensure we deliver a high quality educational experience. We enrich our children's learning through a variety of educational visits, residential journeys and a wide range of extra-curricular activities.

Simon Balle is known for its high expectations, first class education and its innovative approach. Our vision and values underpin all we do. Indeed, everyone who knows us or visits our school speaks of our distinct ethos with its strong sense of natural support and loyalty. Indeed, this can be seen throughout our school; from our youngest children in our Larch Centre right to our eighteen year old students within our Sixth Form. Our vision is clear - all members of the Simon Balle community are set high and challenging academic and personal targets and goals; thus they are given both the support and encouragement to succeed. We are so privileged as adults that the greatest gift we can give to our young people is a first class education to prepare them as 'tomorrow's citizens' - the leaders, parents and workers in our globally diverse and competitive world.

Our school is a place where our children can learn, grow and become the best versions of themselves. We are a happy and safe school, where we achieve success through the everyday practice of our Catholic ethos and our aspirational approach in all that we do, and where excellent teachers guide children to achieve at their highest level. We are a wonderful family community, where our children are supported and encouraged by a team of committed staff, governors and parents. We have a culture of successful learning and an inclusive, caring and supportive environment where the shared love of Christ is at the centre of all we achieve.

We are a small school which brings with it many advantages. We have a committed and stable staff team with excellent ratios within the classes. Each pupil's achievements and needs are recognised by us all, as we enjoy their successes and plan for their future education. The size and ethos of our school leads the pupils to believe in themselves and their learning capabilities. We have the advantage of working very closely with the village church, which extends our links with the community. They provide the school with enthusiasm and valuable support. We welcome admissions from all faiths. We hope you enjoy looking at our website but to really have a true reflection of the school we would highly recommend a visit.
