Climate change…Julie Hazeldine CEO Healthy Learning Trust / Headteacher Flixton Girls School

Creating a sense of belonging

through enrichment“using enrichment to create a sense of place, purpose and value in the community.”

“There are numerous extra-curricular clubs that students take part in to find their passion. As such, students across year groups have developed good relationships with each other as leaders, friends and mentors making our school environment a positive place to be.

1. Maslow’s Hierachy of Needs

1. Why: what Ofsted says…Personal development EIF grade criteria:• curriculum extends beyond academic, technical or

vocational• provides for broader development…develop/discover

interests and talents. • develop character – including resilience, confidence

and independence • know how to keep physically and mentally healthy.

“ In terms of academic resilience, evidence supports climate-based models ... Caring and supportive teachers, a safe and orderly school environment, high expectations, opportunities for pupils to become involved in the life of the school, and good relationships between school and parents appear to be part of a ‘community’-oriented climate that can foster academic resilience, in particular among disadvantaged pupils (Borman & Rachuba, 2001).

founding principles, ensures that

each girl is equipped with the

knowledge, skills and abilities she

needs in order to achieve success

delivered through our 5 pathways.

At FGS we believe that the

the key to her future happiness and

our community and our society.

and reflection

aspects of safeguarding

The happiness, health and well-being of our girls

to do ordinary things extraordinarily

well.

Flixton girls are proud of their school

and benefit from our deep

commitment to traditional standards,

courtesy and respect, leading to

outstanding achievements and

academic success.

Being on a winning team, whether sporting

and competitive or just for fun helps us to

ensure that all of our girls know what it is

to be excellent.

At FGS we believe that each girl deserves

the very best education and has limitless

potential.

We consider it our duty to help her to

discover and fulfil her potential. We are

privileged to nurture each girl as we share

the most enjoyable, challenging and

exciting journey of her life… from girl to

woman.
