Our Vision To deliver the highest quality learning opportunities to every student ensuring that every member of our Academy can make outstanding progress and positively contribute to the modern world. We are INSPIRED

Our Students We are INSPIRED We are Independent We Never give up We are Solution-focussed We are Progress driven We are Innovative We are Respectful We are Enthusiastic We are Determined We are INSPIRED

Our Core Beliefs 1. IQ is not static and can be developed and grown. 2. Prior attainment does not limit what students can achieve. 3. We never label students as ‘low ability’. 4. In the right conditions, students can achieve well beyond what many would predict. 5. Having a Growth Mindset will impact results. We are INSPIRED

Our Philosophy ‘Learning Without Limits’ • Our teaching focusses on high levels of challenge and high order thinking • We teach to the top and ‘scaffold’ down’ • We believe strongly that children rise to challenges and enjoy them • We will always look to deepen knowledge and understanding rather than ‘race’ through a curriculum. We are INSPIRED

The Impact: Our results from our first year Based on a minimum threshold of GCSE Grade 1 September 2017 Maths: 51% English: 41% Science: 16% July 2018 Maths: 84% (+33%) English: 87% (+46%) Combined English and Maths: 75% Science: 80% (+64%) We are INSPIRED

Projecting Forward… • Based on these results, we can project the following GCSE results for our first cohort of Year 11 s: 1) 70% will achieve at least Grade 4 (C) in both English and Maths. 2) 47% will achieve at least Grade 5 (C+) in both English and Maths 3) 27% will achieve at least Grade 7 (A) in both English and Maths.
