Our Achievements
What Achievement Means to Us
Achievement sits at the heart of our school vision. Our school exists to provide limitless opportunities for every child to aspire and succeed.
However, for everyone at Hotham, achievement does not just mean test results. While our children consistently achieve above national averages, we strive to achieve so much more.
By the time they leave, we expect our children to:
Be ready for life in London and the wider world;
Be excited about learning and understand its purpose;
Have been given limitless opportunities;
Have aspirations for the future;
Be welcoming and open-minded individuals;
Be kind, confident, articulate and respectful young people.
