About our school

We are a Hospital School. We support students with who are currently patients inside Liverpool hospital. Our school provides a safe, structured and inclusive learning environment where every student is recognised and supported to achieve their full potential.

We work with families, carers and support staff to make a learning and wellbeing plan for each student. This means all students can learn in a way that suits them best.

Alongside our curriculum, students take part in programs that build skills in:

• literacy and numeracy
• identifying and expressing their passion
• exploring their passion in future career pathways
• explicit wellbeing practices

Our classrooms are set up to meet each student’s needs. We make sure students feel safe, respected and ready to learn in a way that suits them. Our staff are caring and are skilled to help students feel confident, connected and proud of who they are.

Our school uses a placement process. Enrolment occurs through a formal referral. Families and schools can contact us if they think our school might be right for their child. To learn more, visit our attendance enquiries page.

Vision and purpose:

At Liverpool Hospital School, learning is wellbeing. Every student will be challenged to unlock their full potential through a culture of high expectations, intervention practices and passion projects. We inspire curiosity so that all students can embrace a life-long love of learning.

Beliefs:

At Liverpool Hospital School we believe:

• Learning is wellbeing – when we get the learning at the right access point and challenge, it brings the child into the present and is a form of mindfulness.

• Learning is explicit teaching followed by the facilitated opportunity to practice.

• Curiosity and joy are encouraged when learning is fun and experiential utilising as many of the five senses as possible.

• Relationships are at the heart of everything we do.

• We should always apply Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs as the steps before readiness to learn.

• We must look after our own and each other’s wellbeing in order to bring wellness to others.

Values:

At Liverpool Hospital School we adopt and adapt the Values of the Department of Education:

Excellence: We strive to be our best and we create ongoing partnerships because we believe we are better together.

Integrity: Kindness matters. We do what is right for our people, even when it is hard.

Equity: We lift people up. We provide equal opportunities. We are respectful and fair.
