Welcome from the Principal

A very warm welcome to Hartshill Academy. We are very proud of our school and hope you enjoy learning more about the wonderful opportunities, learning and family at Hartshill Academy. 

At Hartshill Academy we have high expectations of ourselves. We practice kindness and gratitude every day. Our school HART values of Heart, Ambition, Respect and Tenacity underpin everything we do. We take time to reflect on our HART values and how we can develop each day to ensure we are always challenging ourselves to be even better today than yesterday. We strive to practice perfect in everything we do. We know that our daily practices become our habits, our habits become our character and our character is who we are. 

We support all pupils to develop a good knowledge and understanding of careers education. We offer opportunities to visit universities and meet employers. We want all pupils to have access to the information they need to ensure they can make informed decisions about their futures. We want all pupils to be able to leave Hartshill Academy prepared and ready to take on their next challenge. We do this through the knowledge they are taught and the opportunities they have to access to in our careers programme and through our wide range of extra-curricular clubs and trips. 

We have a knowledge rich, five year curriculum. We support all pupils to access this curriculum and make excellent progress through high quality teaching in all lessons. We provide extra support to those pupils who need it to ensure all of our pupils can access the learning and make excellent progress. We have an excellent pastoral system who work closely with our families to ensure all pupils are supported so they can arrive to lessons ready to learn and make the most of the opportunities available to them each day.  

Parental involvement in school is a key to every child’s success. Our parents collaborate with the school through parent voice, parents evenings, celebration events, shows, sports events and our pastoral support. All of these are important opportunities for us to support every child. 

Hartshill Academy is now thriving in its £30 million, purpose‑built school building, a modern and inspiring environment that brings together bright teaching spaces, a dedicated Learning Resource Centre, and high‑quality specialist facilities to support every aspect of school life. This blend of cutting‑edge design and Hartshill’s long‑standing role in the community gives our pupils a vibrant, future‑focused setting where they can feel proud, confident and ready to succeed.
