ethos

The distinctiveness of the Hanover brand is its focus on the whole person, ensuring each learner experiences a Hanover education, not only excelling academically, but leaves school fully prepared to meet the challenges of employment and adult life in the 21st Century.

A Hanover School will: -

• Develop in each learner the skills and personal attributes needed for success in school, out of school, and beyond, with a particular focus on:

  • Learning skills

  • Employability skills

  • Interpersonal skills

  • Developing in young people passions and interests

• Have the highest aspirations and expectations for all learners, regardless of background or context

• Play an energetic role in creating and sustaining strong and co-operative communities

A Hanover education will not be restricted only to secondary-age students. We will seek, wherever possible, to create all-through schools and to build strong local networks of primary and secondary schools, all sharing a common commitment to the Hanover ethos.

Hanover recognises that the education of children is a highly specialised activity, informed through the experience of committed professionals and the findings of educational, social, and medical research. The design and operation of Hanover schools will be guided by leading research, thus ensuring every student’s learning is informed by evidence from proven best practice.
