Hermitage is a vibrant, diverse and welcoming primary school located near St Katharine’s Dock in Wapping, judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in 2014 and 2018. Our children come from a wide variety of backgrounds, reflecting the borough’s cultural and economic diversity. Using a child-centred approach, we aim to ensure that every child reaches their highest possible level of achievement in a stimulating learning environment where they are happy, safe, enjoy coming to school and enjoy their learning. The choice not to have a uniform and the use of first names throughout Hermitage embodies our view of relationships being mutual, not hierarchical. Hermitage has a strong local reputation for its inclusive practice and SEND provision. We are passionate about equalities, identity and diversity.
Tower Hamlets Local Authority recently selected Hermitage to become the first mainstream primary school in the borough with a dedicated Alternative Resource Provision for high functioning autistic children. The ARP will provide additional support for 12 children. This will enable Hermitage to offer a unique combined mainstream curriculum with specialist smaller group sessions run by highly trained staff in a well-resourced unit. The new Headteacher post will oversee the development of the ARP and support the SENCO in this vital provision for the Tower Hamlets community.
The Local Authority have also confirmed their intention to expand the school to two forms of entry, reducing the need for mixed age classes, in line with Local Authority Policy.
Hermitage offers:
• fantastic children, confident, happy and well behaved
• a friendly and supportive ethos which celebrates its multicultural and inclusive nature
• a team of dynamic and dedicated teachers, who respond well to positive, distributive
leadership and who are keen to maintain a culture of improvement
• high standards of learning and teaching
• a commitment to extra-curriculum provision involving the creative arts and physical
education
• a strong and supportive governing body and Local Authority
