Our Vision & Values - Active Citizenship

Everyone succeeds and achieves their potential regardless of any personal characteristics. Background does not determine outcomes.

We are all equal all of the time and treat people with the respect they deserve. We are not afraid to make mistakes as we see this as part of our learning journey.

We aim for our students to leave our academy with the ‘Master Key’ that will unlock any door for them in the future.

We are stronger as a team than a group of individuals and can change anything collectively.

We aim to provide a rounded education that ensures our students grow holistically through developing resilience, tolerance and humanity.
