WELCOME TO THE HCPS OFFER:
At Hoyland Common Primary School (HCPS), personal development is central to everything we do, which is why we introduced the HCPS Offer. Our approach nurtures every child academically and personally, helping them grow with the skills, character, and confidence needed for future success. Built on our core values of Kindness, Aspirational, Curiosity, and Individuality, our offer aligns with the British values and supports the development of Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural growth.
Spiritual development at HCPS encourages pupils to reflect on their beliefs, respect those of others, and appreciate their own strengths and potential. Through Curiosity and Kindness, we foster creativity, positive relationships, and a love for art, theatre, literature, and sport, helping children become reflective, confident individuals.
In terms of Moral development, pupils learn to distinguish between right and wrong and understand the consequences of their actions. By promoting Aspirational values, we inspire students to make responsible choices, learn from mistakes, and respect others and the environment.
Our focus on Social development teaches pupils the responsibilities of being part of families and communities. Through Kindness and Aspirational values, we encourage empathy, leadership, and involvement in social causes, helping children become active contributors to local, national, and global communities.
Finally, Cultural development at HCPS fosters an appreciation for diversity, both within our school and the wider world. We encourage Curiosity and respect for different cultures, helping students understand Britain’s diverse society and global dimensions. By integrating these key areas, our HCPS Offer ensures that every pupil becomes a well-rounded, engaged, and empowered individual.
What is the offer?
At Hoyland Common Primary School ‘The HCPS Offer’ has been developed to provide our children with endless opportunities and diverse experiences to broaden their horizons and develop their ambitions. Our aim is to help our students grow not just academically, but also socially, culturally and emotionally by inspiring them with new experiences and opportunities. Through our offer, pupils engage in extra-curricular clubs, competitive sports, in-school workshops, and curricular visits. They also spectate in thrilling sports events and artistic performances, immerse themselves in cultural gatherings, and build vital community links, all of which have been carefully selected to educate, empower and inspire. With this offer, we aim to enthuse our students to dream big and know their potential, instilling in them a sense of determination and passion and a greater understanding of what careers they may wish to pursue in the future. The HCPS Offer strengthens and enriches our curriculum by providing planned opportunities for students in each year group to engage in visits and workshops that directly align with their learning. Moreover, we go the extra mile by prioritising the holistic development of our students, focusing on their personal, social, and emotional growth through participation in residentials, workshops, the Arts and a variety of broader experiences.
At Hoyland Common Primary School, we place utmost importance on nurturing self-assured learners who embody kindness, curiosity, individuality, and aspirations. We are committed to instilling a deep sense of pride in our students’ heritage and empowering them to make a significant and positive difference in their community.
We carefully map out the offer to ensure that throughout their time with us, every child experiences a broad range of curriculum opportunities. We design activities and events that cover various areas of the curriculum, allowing students to explore subjects from different perspectives. This approach ensures that all pupils have the chance to engage with diverse learning experiences, helping them develop a well-rounded understanding and a deeper appreciation of the curriculum. Additionally, we map out projected costs for each activity, so parents can clearly see and plan for any financial commitments ahead of time, ensuring transparency and ease of participation.

Equal Opportunities:
At Hoyland Common Primary School (HCPS), the HCPS Offer demonstrates our commitment to Equal Opportunities by actively involving all pupils, including those with SEND and recipients of Pupil Premium funding, in decisions about which clubs and events they want. Through Pupil Voice, we ensure that every child’s preferences are heard, creating an inclusive environment where all students have a say in their extracurricular activities.
To remove financial barriers, we offer free after-school clubs for pupils receiving Pupil Premium funding and provide installments and payment plans for all events. This ensures that no child is excluded from opportunities due to financial constraints, supporting families and ensuring all children can participate.
We are committed to providing equal opportunities for every pupil, regardless of their background or needs. By offering accessible clubs, events, and activities to all students, we ensure that every child has the chance to grow, develop, and thrive at HCPS.
