Ethos and Values
At Valley Academy we believe that every student is unique and valued.
All staff nurture and develop a deep sense of self-worth, confidence and ambition in all our students.
Our core values of compassion, honesty, integrity and excellence are our DNA and inform the behaviours of all students and staff.
- Compassion: Being kind, sincere and fair.
- Honesty: Being truthful to ourselves and each other.
- Integrity: Doing the right thing, all the time, especially when no one is watching you.
- Excellence: Doing your best and improving every day, so that we are the best version of ourselves.
We want our students to be prepared for adult life and are committed to helping them get the best possible academic outcomes.
As a values centred organisation, we also expect our staff and students to model the British values:
- Democracy.
- The rule of law.
- Individual liberty.
- Mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith.
