An inspiring educational experience is the greatest gift we can give our children and that is why choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make. A genuine ethos of warmth and positive learning has been instilled across our school and the flame of learning is well and truly lit at Hartland International School. We look forward to welcoming you and your family to join us on our journey.
Key Stage 2 offers a rigorous education based on the National Curriculum for England, deepening students' knowledge and skills across core and specialist subjects. In English, students engage with a variety of texts to enhance their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Mathematics covers a wide range of concepts, encouraging creative problem-solving and participation in challenges like the Primary Maths Challenge. Inquiry-based science promotes curiosity and hands-on experimentation. Specialist subjects include Art, PE, and Music, guided by specialist teachers to foster creativity, physical fitness, and musical appreciation. Our programme equips them with knowledge, critical thinking, and essential life skills such as collaboration, presentation, and even healthy debate.
Key Stage 2 students enjoy a variety of extracurricular activities that enhance their learning and personal growth. Sports options like football, basketball, rugby, cricket, netball, tennis, aquathlon, cross-country, athletics, swimming, and golf promote fitness, resilience, and teamwork. Creative arts activities, including drama clubs (such as LAMDA), music lessons, and art clubs, foster performance skills, creativity, and self-expression. The enrichment programme offers over 100 activities, including the Formula One club, encouraging new passions and critical thinking.
Pastoral care for Key Stage 2 students at Hartland International School ensures every child feels secure, valued, and supported. We believe emotional, social, and personal development are as crucial as academic achievements. Our programme creates a nurturing environment that fosters growth and wellbeing during this pivotal stage, when students begin forming identities and building relationships. Our dedicated pastoral team is committed to making every student feel respected and heard, promoting resilience, empathy, and belonging through kindness and inclusivity. We prioritise termly "Hart to Heart" meetings to ensure students feel heard and supported, complemented by weekly PSHE lessons within our broader Hartland on Wellbeing (H.O.W) programme. The H.O.W programme incorporates the YouHQ wellness app, empowering students to set personal wellbeing goals independently. YouHQ enhances student voice, enabling direct wellbeing check-ins with pastoral staff, further supporting holistic care and promoting a strong sense of community among students, teachers, and parents.
Hartland's curriculum evolves with students' developing talents, encouraging inquisitiveness and deeper engagement with subjects. A comprehensive academic programme, aligned with the National Curriculum, and supported by HPL, develops critical thinking and essential life skills. This approach prepares students for future success, inspiring ambition through rigorous coursework and opportunities for independent research.
Hartland challenges students with a rigorous academic curriculum and a vibrant array of extra-curricular activities. The Hartland Enrichment Programme offers over 130 activities, complementing the regular curriculum. This programme, along with initiatives like the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, fosters creativity, physical skills, and a love for exploration, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.
At Hartland, a nurturing environment is fostered through personalised attention and strong teacher-student relationships. Programmes like "Hart to Hearts" and dedicated well-being lessons ensure students feel valued and supported. The school prioritises social and emotional development, promoting a sense of belonging and community among students, teachers, and parents.
