School Aims and Mission Statement
Our Mission Statement:
* We will make our school a place where children are happy and where they have fun.
* Hoyland Springwood will be a safe, secure school where great teaching inspires children to reach their potential and achieve their ambitions.
* In this place, imagination will be as important as knowledge; children will enjoy an enriching curriculum with learning opportunities they will never forget.
* No child can learn and attain academic excellence unless they love their school; we will do all that is possible to help each of our children to believe, to achieve and to succeed.

Cultural Capital
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty; that is all you know on earth, and all you need to know." (Keats)
Hoyland Springwood School is committed to ensuring that children are given every opportunity to taste the best cultural experiences that we can offer in the hope that by gaining access to the best, children will understand that the most beautiful experiences are accessible and that they are their birth right. We see this as just as important as their understanding of British Values.
We are delighted that in the new Ofsted Framework, Cultural Capital heads the Curriculum Content section with the quotation:
It is the essential knowledge that pupils need to be educated citizens introducing them to the best that has been thought and said and helping to engender an appreciation of human creativity and achievement.
With this in mind, we will endeavour to use the curriculum to introduce children to the best that has been thought and said. We have a commitment to sharing classic children's literature and the best of poetry - but the curriculum needs to be supported by an exciting range of school visits, events and enriching opportunities in order to give a more complete range of experiences, which is our aim.
