Rushmere Hall's Vision & Aims
Excellence for all through innovation, opportunity and community.
We achieve excellence in many ways: through our broad curriculum offer, our care for our pupils and our commitment to ensure Rushmere Hall stands proudly at the heart of our vibrant community.
For us, excellence is an intention not an outcome.
We don't measure excellence by our outcomes and SATs results but rather 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 childs’ needs, whether this is through our inspirational curriculum and teaching offer, through our expert SEND department, or through strong, sincere relationships. All children, from those who need additional support, to those who are aiming for high academic achievement, 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 because the children we have need different things in order to succeed.

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. The school supports charities, attends local community events; making connections, supporting each and bringing people together.

Within the next 5 years…
We will have cultivated strong proactive middle leaders who drive their subject areas forward by being brave, ambitious and ensuring knowledge that the children’s learning is carefully and progressively mapped out.
We will have developed and refined a broad, engaging curriculum that guarantees success for all learners with nothing left to chance.
We will have established a high quality group of schools which form the Suffolk Hub within the Eko Trust. Schools will collaborate and prosper in partnership with each other and amongst the wider trust to raise the quality of outcomes and opportunities for pupils, staff and the community.
We will have tackled the fluctuating pupil numbers by finding an approach that consistently makes sure classes are full. This combined with carrying out outreach work, using the experienced staff we have to guarantee regular predictable income, helps us to make financial decisions that maximise the impact of our spending on the pupils.
We will have achieved our goal of becoming a Thrive School. A place where effective, trusting relationships are built and nurtured and children's needs are understood and supported. 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.
