We believe that pupils should be able to feel that they are part of something bigger. Bigger than our community, we want them to know that they are part of modern Britain. We would like pupils to be able to articulate and understand these values and to see them all around them in our Academy Culture. We specifically engage with them at the start of the year, in Assemblies, The Student council, our relationships protocols, awareness days and conversations with young people. We also tackle them as in a vast array of subject areas throughout our curriculum.
