The school leadership team have produced the following list of values which they feel are at the heart of Hornchurch High School:

Excellence for All
At Hornchurch High School, we uphold the traditional values of strong discipline, high expectations and a demanding academic curriculum. At the same time we are totally committed to the best use of 21st century computer technology to help teaching and learning. Our first priority is the development of every students’ academic potential to the fullest.
We demand that the students at Hornchurch High School achieve the very best that they are capable of, but we also work to ensure that they are happy and feel secure at school. Learning can be difficult and challenging at times, and it is our job, with the support of parents, to keep the pressure on and maintain motivation.
We believe in firm discipline: without good order in the classroom teachers cannot teach and students cannot learn. At Hornchurch High School we do not tolerate any student who wants to stop others from learning. We expect students to take pride in belonging to their school by wearing correct school uniform and wearing it smartly and properly.
We also expect students to get involved in the wider life of the school: to join clubs, get involved in sports teams and take part in school productions. In short, to take advantage of all the opportunities that an exciting school like Hornchurch High offers.
Modern British Values
Modern British Values are taught in every aspect of school life at Hornchurch High: in the classroom, through our guest speakers, on the sports field and in daily interactions between staff and students.
