Welcome by Headteacher

I am delighted to introduce myself as the Headteacher of John Hanson Community School. It is a privilege to lead such a warm and welcoming school, with such dedicated and caring staff, and well-mannered and enthusiastic children.   As highlighted in the school’s recent Ofsted report, this is a very happy and inclusive school with a caring and aspirational culture. At JHCS, our vision is to inspire and empower our students, within a culture of care and belonging, to embrace opportunities to learn, succeed and become the best versions of themselves.   This is underpinned by our strapline: Inspire. Care. Succeed.

Inspire: Students who leave John Hanson Community school will:

• Be motivated to reach their academic and personal potential
• Be proud of their achievements
• Find their passion for knowledge

Care: All members of the John Hanson community will:

• Feel cared for and safe
• Show kindness and respect to themselves, each other and the environment
• Develop a strong sense of belonging and service to the community

Succeed: We achieve success by:

• Striving for excellence in all that we do
• Learning from mistakes
• Embracing opportunities

We believe that a successful and happy school depends on the strength of relationships between students, staff and families. Whether you are a prospective family, or an existing parent who has not visited the school since your children were in year 6, we would warmly invite you to come and visit the school again to experience this special place for yourself. Please contact adminoffice@jhanson.hants.sch.uk to arrange a school tour.
