Academy Ethos

Academy Ethos

Within this Academy people come first. Everyone is valued, respected and encouraged to have a say in how their Academy is run. We provide a welcoming environment for students of all faiths or none, serving all in the local area.

The Academy prepares students to live happy, fulfilling, rewarding lives and to be good citizens whatever they choose to be. The Academy is distinctively Christian in ethos and outlook, promoting tolerance and mutual respect. There is no place for bullying and other forms of unfair discrimination.

The Academy does this by raising people’s aspirations and opening up the possibilities of what they can become. Our can-do culture nurtures self-confidence and self-esteem. Our students learn through successes and setbacks on their journey of self discovery. Quality, a business and enterprise culture and outstanding leadership at all levels is central to Academy life.

As part of our innovative approach to teaching we encourage students to challenge themselves and to help others, embracing the Outward Bound approach. We have created conditions for enjoyable learning and aim for the highest standards. Close partnerships with schools, colleges and the wider community enrich the life of the Academy. We play an active role in the social and economic development of the area.
