High Halden’s Strategic Plan 2022–2027
“Rooted in God, we grow together”

At High Halden Church of England Primary School, we’ve created a long-term plan to guide our school’s growth and development over the next few years. This plan is rooted in our Christian values and a deep belief in nurturing every child so they can flourish.

The image shows our vision as a living vine, full of leaves, fruit, and branches—all representing different areas of focus. Here's what each part means for your child and family:

🌱 Flourish through a Rich Curriculum

We aim to offer an ambitious and progressive curriculum, full of hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and a love of learning. Children are encouraged to enquire, think deeply, and explore new ideas through a consistent approach across the school.

🌟 Impact and Change

To help children achieve their best, we focus on professional learning for staff and making sure we raise outcomes for all learners. Using the motto, “Know more, remember more, and understand more,” helps guide our teaching so children develop a deeper understanding over time.
We also value cultural capital—giving children a wide range of experiences that enrich their learning and open up their future opportunities.

💜 Valued Individuals

We recognise the uniqueness of every child. That means focusing on wellbeing, building resilience, and supporting both physical and mental health. We celebrate improved attendance and encourage every learner to feel confident and curious.

🤝 Partnerships and Community

Positive relationships matter. We work hard to build strong community links, foster collaboration among staff and families, and involve parents in school life. Together, we support children’s learning and celebrate their successes.

🌍 Sense of Belonging and Moral Purpose

Children learn best when they feel safe, respected, and part of something bigger. We nurture that by focusing on our Christian ethos and values, helping children understand their role in the world and the impact they can have on it.

📈 Growth and Attainment

Ultimately, we want all children to grow academically, socially, and spiritually. By working together and continuously improving, we help children become confident, prepared, and capable of meeting the challenges of the future.

This strategic plan isn’t just about goals—it’s about making sure every child thrives. With your support, we will continue to grow stronger as a school community, helping our children become the best versions of themselves.
