Twin Sails Infant School & Nursery and Hamworthy Park Junior School are part of the Hamworthy Primary Schools Federation, working together to provide high standards of education for all our children, which has been recognised in our recent Ofsted Inspection at the Infant School. The schools work in a supportive partnership with other local schools, as part of the Hillary Partnership, within the Hamwic Trust.
‘Every Child, Every Day, Every Possibility.’
‘All about the Child’
At HET, we aim to put the child at the centre of everything we do. We believe that by doing this, it drives our ethos and values to do the best we can for our children.
‘What about Sam’
Sam is the name we have given to the notional Hamwic child. By asking ourselves ‘What about Sam?’ we ensure that we put our pupils at the heart of our decision making.
Our schools are four-form entry and set in beautiful surroundings, overlooking Poole Bay. Our caring, nurturing ethos underpins everything that we do. We all believe that every child deserves the very best education and a wealth of opportunities to achieve their full potential, and as a team we strive to achieve this.
THE HILLARY PARTNERSHIP
The Hillary Partnership is part of an umbrella Trust called the Hamwic Education Trust. At the Hamwic Education Trust we offer unique opportunities for those individuals that excel in education.
We aim to deliver an outstanding education to our pupils and to do so we must employ outstanding people.
We offer a training pathway for all employees including teachers, support staff and our middle and senior leaders.
Our staff have opportunities to work on cross phase projects and to work in other schools within the Trust in order to gain invaluable experience and enhance their skills.
