endeavour – to relish challenge, never give up and learn to take sensible risks

self-belief – to believe that they can and will go on to achieve their ambitions

honesty – act with integrity, treating others the way they would like to be treated

excellence – not settling for second best or for the easiest option

global views – understanding their place in the world and how they can make it a better place.

The academy will offer a fully broad and balanced curriculum, particularly celebrating and championing the importance of learning a modern foreign language. Students will have a wider range of ways to learn about the different cultures and customs of countries around the world.

Our students will leave the school with a deep sense of achievement – ready to excel in the further challenges of life that lie ahead of them. In summary, ‘everything is possible’
