Sarum Hall School

A very warm welcome to Sarum Hall School, which has been educating girls since 1929. It is a great privilege to lead this vibrant, energetic, happy, and successful school.

Sarum Hall School is an exciting and busy place with many varied opportunities built around a strong academic foundation.  It is exciting to see how the staff and the girls bring learning to life every day, in order to nurture and develop inquisitive minds and innate curiosity.

Single form entry ensures that there is a family feel and the pupils work and play together in a cohesive unit, applying the Golden Values in every aspect of school life.  Every day is an adventure and there is always hard work, team effort, creativity and room for independent thought in all aspects of the curriculum.  The childrens’ many personal successes are testament to the variety and wealth of experiences available, delivered through relevant and engaging lessons and activities.

Our pupils are encouraged to challenge themselves in every discipline in order to find their passion for a love of learning in an area in which they can build confidence.  This confidence quickly affords them courage “to have a go” in other activities.  We are unashamedly ambitious for all and value each aspect of the curriculum.  This is reflected in the wealth of opportunities the girls are exposed to and the range of stimulating subjects which make up our dynamic and diverse curriculum.  In this way the children learn when it is their turn to step into the spotlight and contribute and when it is time for them to take a step back and let someone else bring in their area of expertise; all for the greater good of the team and the richness of the community.

We support our children to become independent, articulate, creative thinkers, who are inclusive, respectful, and courteous towards everyone.  We encourage them to be resilient in themselves, and to learn the personal skills needed to meet life’s ups and downs, so they can work and play with all members of the school.

Our caring and devoted staff – teaching and support – know each girl as an individual which allows us to identify and celebrate personal achievements and triumphs on a regular basis.  The strong sense of community within the school promotes humility, a feeling of security and genuine happiness for one and other’s successes.

Our pupils take their social and ecological responsibilities seriously, to ensure they can serve their community in the round.  Our Golden Values (kindness, courage, respect, honesty, fairness and resilience) underpin all we do to help prepare each child to continue their schooling and life’s adventures beyond.

Ethos and Aims

• To develop the desire and ability to contribute to the community at large, respecting and appreciating others for their differences and beliefs, with particular reference to British values
