At St Hilda’s and Bluebird Nursery we educate young people so that they may flourish personally in order to succeed academically and thereby contribute positively towards the world of their time. Our core values are Resilience, Resourcefulness and Risk-Taking.

Aldenham Foundation
Model of Education

Our Ethos:

Our ethos is expressed in the Aldenham Foundation Model of Education, at the heart of which lies the development and wellbeing of every child. Our approach is one that creates Autonomy, Belonging, Competence and Purpose, all of which are essential for human thriving. Bringing these together drives the positive cycle of motivation and success, spurring each child on to succeed in ways that may look and feel different for everyone. Three areas of school life, academic, co-curricular and pastoral interlock, providing our students with opportunities to learn, progress and excel. Drawing on the Foundation’s boarding heritage, every student is known and enjoys recognition for their contribution to their community of peers and adults, who care about them as individuals.
