At Hillcrest School, we live by our core values: Work Hard, Be Kind, Aim High.

We create a supportive and respectful learning environment where students are encouraged to Work Hard, take pride in their efforts, and develop a passion for lifelong learning. With high expectations for every student, we provide a knowledge-rich curriculum and quality teaching that prepare learners for the challenges of a constantly evolving world.

Students are encouraged to set high aspirations for themselves and collaborate constructively with their teachers to reach ambitious goals across a wide range of areas. We aim to give students the chance to thrive in the next stage of their lives, whether that means gaining places at some of the best universities, embarking on apprenticeships, or preparing to lead fulfilling adult lives.

Excellent behaviour is expected from all students, creating a safe and happy school community. A calm and orderly environment ensures every student can thrive and achieve their full potential.

Our community is founded on kindness and mutual respect. Hillcrest is a happy, fair, and responsible school where students learn to Be Kind to one another. We actively uphold the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and tolerance, ensuring everyone feels valued and included.

We inspire every student to Aim High, not only academically but in all areas of life. Hillcrest equips students with the confidence, skills, and resilience to thrive in modern Britain. We encourage them to pursue their ambitions boldly, embrace new challenges, and make a positive impact on the world around them.
