Excellence achieved through care, creativity and challenge.

Intent

By fostering a culture of pupil leadership, King’s Hedges empowers pupils to take an active role in shaping their learning experiences and enhances their personal development. King’s Hedges promotes inclusive practices, so that we can ensure that pupils and families have a voice. We listen to the feedback and effectively serve the school community.
