hillview school for girls
Hillview School for Girls is a unique learning establishment. Our ethos is built
around a broad and balanced education where students are able to explore their
interests and talents, whilst making good progress across a range of academic
and foundation subjects. Our specialism in Performing and Visual Arts and
outstanding attainment across a wide range of curriculum areas enables all of
our students to develop their passions within a safe and supportive environment.
As a school we strive to support each and every child to realise their dreams
and ambitions. We realise that this requires a strong balance between exploring
and developing their skills and understanding throughout their learning and
harnessing their interests. Our strong pastoral system supports our students in
their decision-making, confidence-building and resilience, which will serve them
so well in an ever-changing and challenging world.Our mixed sixth form offers
one of the widest subject ranges in the local area, across multiple specialist
academic and vocational courses. Our curriculum offers students the flexibility
to specialise in one area or keep a wide subject base. Our new Performing Arts
studio route provides our students with the industry experience to secure their
progression into their chosen field or on to university study. We are highly
aspirational for all our Key Stage 5 students and actively support their
progression onto university by leading them through the application process and
developing their transferable, personal skills and independent learning skills
to ensure they are successful in their subsequent studies. Students develop
their understanding of the local community through varied community and business
links and fundraising opportunities. Our new Science HUB, offers members of the
community the chance to experience lectures from top scientists, which also
supports our students’ exploration into high academic, aspirational career
pathways. Our highly active and dedicated PTA offer a range of events throughout
the year, for students and parents. Their hard work and effort continues to
support our students by providing facilities such as a school minibus or covered
seating areas. They are always looking for new members to support their on-going
projects. We are entering a new and exciting time, which will see the school
moving from strength to strength, building upon our current position as one of
the highest attaining non-selective schools in Kent; with 61% of our students
leaving with 5 A*-C including English and Maths. Together, as a school, we will
be building an outstanding provision for the future, where students will take a
highly active role within the wider school development and their own learning
journey. Our students access a highly personalised curriculum which enables each
individual to progress at a rate suitable to their needs. A student’s successful
progression through the school is dependent upon a strong partnership and
network and I ask all parents to support their children and the school by
promoting positive learning behaviours and engaging their child in discussions
about their work.
