Chigwell
West Hatch is a thriving, diverse and successful school that has, for a
considerable amount of time, held a great standing within the community. There
is a tangible sense of community and calmness about the school. West Hatch has a
special ethos; we are a family dedicated to all our students excelling
academically and personally in our school and beyond by seizing the
opportunities we provide. At West Hatch we provide our students with the
opportunities to expand their horizons, to become what they didn’t know they
could be and help them to believe in themselves and have exceptionally high
aspirations for their future. We ensure that our students are provided with a
wide range of opportunities throughout their time at West Hatch to help them see
what is possible for them in the future. We have a fine track record
academically and our staff work very hard to ensure our students achieve
exceptionally well. Throughout our curriculum we develop the skills, knowledge
and understanding to be successful from Year 7 to 13 and beyond, so that
students are able to forge the best possible careers and futures. We are an
innovative, forward thinking school which believes in the highest possible
standards of behaviour so that all students are able to thrive. The school motto
is to ensure every member of our community strives to be “the best that I can
be”. Our students created this motto and the values that underpin it: To be
determined and persevere To be respectful To be responsible To be considerate To
be proud To be ready to achieve These values permeate through everything we do
at the school and reflect the fact that we work hard to develop well rounded
students who are both successful learners and citizens.
