The Astrea vision enables individual academies to flourish with real autonomy, whilst also ensuring a strong ethos of support and collaboration across our schools. This balance is necessary in order to achieve long term sustainability for our schools.

At Hatfield Academy, our vision is to prepare children for the wider world by developing the knowledge, character and personal qualities they need to flourish. We believe education is about more than academic success; it is about nurturing the whole child and helping every pupil become a competent, confident and caring member of society.

Our ethos is built upon the Hatfield 3 C’s – Competence, Confidence and Care. Through high-quality learning, meaningful experiences and strong relationships, we empower children to develop the skills, attitudes and values that will enable them to learn, thrive and succeed throughout their lives.

Alongside our ethos, we promote the Hatfield Attributes (HATTERS), which underpin our expectations for all members of our school community. We encourage every pupil to embody:

  • High Expectations – striving for excellence in all they do
  • Active – embracing opportunities and participating fully
  • Trustworthy – demonstrating honesty, integrity and respect
  • Thoughtful – showing empathy, kindness and consideration for others
  • Enthusiastic – approaching learning and new experiences with positivity
  • Responsible – taking ownership of their actions and choices
  • Self-Confident – believing in themselves and their ability to succeed

These attributes, together with the values of the Astrea Academy Trust, help us to create a culture where every child is inspired to achieve beyond measure and make a positive contribution to their community and the wider world.

Scholarship

We will be informed by the best of academic and organisational thinking
and research, using this where we can and expanding it where possible.

Curiosity

We will ask searching questions, not take things on face value, seek out
the best of what is known and engage in appreciative enquiry.

Tenacity

We will deliver on our promises and see things through to completion.
We will embody pace, urgency and determination in our focus on
improving outcomes for children and on our own performance.
