EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Our values and vision
At the James Hornsby School we see ourselves as a family - The James Hornsby family. Our mission statement, together we excel, articulates the sense of belonging and high aspirations that run through the school - like a stick of rock! We firmly believe that disadvantage should never be a barrier to achievement and endeavour to live up to this in everything we do in school. In particular, this is seen in the high level of challenge and the life changing opportunities we offer for every learner - no matter what their backgrounds is.
