Vision & Ethos

The Academy’s beliefs include:

• All of our students will be successful in achieving their very best outcomes
• All of our students should have access to the highest quality opportunities and teaching available
• Success comes from active engagement with, and ownership of, their own learning
• Learning must be appreciated as a lifelong process that will constantly open up new opportunities
• All of our students, and those who support them, will benefit from having their horizons and expectations extended
• All students need to have self-confidence, a strong sense of personal and social responsibility, and eventually ‘work’ and life skills
• Staff are our most important resource
• The best results often come from a ‘culture’ of collaboration and partnership
• The values that underpin the actions should include respect for ourselves, respect for and tolerance of others and respect for the environment.
