Our Vision and Aims
Excellence for all through innovation, opportunity and community.
We don't measure excellence by our outcomes and SATs results. We aim for excellence in our provision for the children and we want the children to aim at excellence too, whatever excellence looks like for them at their stage and ability.
Excellence through Innovation
At Rushmere Hall, each child is given what they need. We aim for excellence through our innovative approach to supporting every child’s needs, whether this is through our inspirational curriculum and teaching offer, through our expert SEND department, or through strong, sincere relationships. All children get what they need here to support and challenge them. We flex and adapt to the children we have, and each year we evolve and innovate further.
Excellence through Opportunity
We encourage pupils to take every opportunity offered to them – and at Rushmere Hall, we offer a lot! We believe that as many of these as possible should be free to access, so that we can open doors for our pupils which otherwise would be closed to them.
Excellence Through Community
We take our role as the centre of the community very seriously. We are welcoming and our pupils feel they belong here. We want to make connections between everyone within our community, learning from each other and growing together. We open our doors regularly to parents and love having them in the classrooms, learning alongside their children.
Over the next 5 years, we will:
- Cultivate strong, proactive middle leaders who drive their subject areas forward by being brave, ambitious and capable.
- Develop and refine a broad, engaging curriculum that guarantees success for all learners, with nothing left to chance.
- Establish a high quality group of schools which form the Suffolk Hub within the Eko Trust.
- Tackle the fluctuating pupil numbers by finding an approach that consistently makes sure classes are full.
- Achieve our goal of becoming a Thrive School: a school that is consistent from start to finish in its desire to grow well-rounded citizens who will have the skills to be amazing in their next stages.
In everything we do we ensure that the school operates a policy of equal opportunities, regardless of gender, race, ability or religion.
