Our Philosophy

Thinking School

NHP Habits

Help pupils understand themselves, their learning and their emotions

At NHP we want our pupils to discover who they are and how they can use their unique qualities to make a positive impact on the world.With opportunities in the workplace both more wide-ranging and more fluid, we are conscious that a 21st century education needs to provide more than the simple acquisition of knowledge.  We focus on the development of transferable skills in our pupils that will help them to succeed in the world beyond school.

We promote a set of core habits of mind that underpin the children’s learning, self-development and well-being during their time at school.  The NHP Habits provide a code of ethics and behaviours which teach our pupils to make good personal choices and to be a considerate and useful member of their community.  These habits are also instrumental in the support of a steady and successful transition to senior school and in helping to craft the leaders of the future.

The Rabbits with the Habits are used throughout the school from Reception through to Year 8.
