Please can you introduce yourself

Daventry Hill School primarily serves the blossoming community of Daventry and the surrounding areas in the South West of Northamptonshire. We are a co-educational all-through (4-18) school for pupils with cognition and learning difficulties.

 

Our staff, governors, families and the local community are all partners in helping our young people to access an education that is focused on improving independence and life opportunities. Having fun, being safe and feeling happy are key to everything we do.

 

At Daventry Hill School we aim to inspire and empower all learners to achieve. Our vision is underpinned by our five core values of:
- Community
- Resilience
- Respect
- Curiosity
- Positivity

 

Where does creativity show up for you and how do you use it?

We use creativity everyday to support students' development by learning creatively through role play, interactions and play. In addition we explore our creative skills and development through art, music, dance, drama, recording studio sessions and movement.

 

Has your creativity ever led you to any unexpected places or connections?

Creativity has enabled us to make friends and to find common interests. We have creatively ‘visited’ different areas of the world, role played general safety, life and interpersonal skills which have supported our students to stay safe in school and in the community. We have creatively explored creativity through shared experiences via the trust, including virtual sports day.

 

What drew you to take part in The January Challenge?

The fact that it is an accessible challenge that celebrates creativity and imagination in a variety of everyday achievable ways. It supports community inclusion and facilitates shared experiences and challenges. We believe that creativity should be sprinkled through every day. This challenge kickstarts a creative year and brings positivity to our school day.
