“The team at St Helen’s have worked tirelessly to meet the needs of our community and give the children educational experiences that allow them to thrive and become positive individuals,” said headteacher Kate Hodgetts. 

“We promote curiosity, creativity and empathy and teach our children to be empathic, resilient and reflective in all areas of the curriculum, seeing strengths in all. 

“The children in our school and those who leave are a testament to the skills of the staff at the school and it is wonderful for them to be recognised and acknowledged for all they do.”

“We are incredibly proud to have been nominated for this award,” said Jennifer Smith, principal. 

“The nomination is a testament and recognition of the hard work and dedication of every member of staff at Castle Hill as well as the incredibly supportive families and community that we serve. 

“As a school, we have transformed over the last seven years; we are a proudly inclusive school, that is striving for excellence with our diverse and ambitious curriculum.”
