  • To offer outstanding opportunities for staff within the school and trust
  • To improve the lives of young people - to be unrelenting towards this goal

Our Values

We are a school built on traditional values. Our ethos and beliefs are evident in 'The Wyrley Way'. This is a charter committed to by our whole school community and celebrates the twin tenets of respect and responsibility.

Our moral purpose is to unlock students’ academic and personal potential. We strive for our students to have a love of learning, be successful learners and gain the knowledge, skills and attributes to be successful in the world of work. Equally, we endeavour for our students to be good human beings, with a sense of purpose and character enabling them to flourish in life.

We are proud to be part of Windsor Academy Trust, which has a strong record of success. Crucial to this success is a core set of values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours. Our students, teachers, support staff and parents understand, support and practice these values. Daily interactions between and amongst members of our community are based on these beliefs and have become a natural part of what we do and how we do it.

We aim to nurture a culture of respect and responsibility for oneself and for others.

Responsibility

I have responsibility:

  • for controlling my own language and behaviour
  • for resolving conflicts and disagreements in a cooperative and peaceful way
  • for completing all work to the best of my ability
  • for asking for support and help when I need it and helping others when they need it
  • for ensuring my own physical and emotional well-being
  • for creating my own success and being resilient in the face of challenge
  • to approach all I do with a positive attitude
  • to see failure as a form of helpful feedback for future growth
  • to follow my dreams no matter what challenges I am faced with.

Respect

I have respect:

  • for myself, other students and all adults, regardless of background, ethnicity, age, gender, ability, values, lifestyles, opinions or interests
  • for the property of the individual, group and school
  • by using language that is not offensive or abusive to others
  • by being open, honest, friendly, and accepting of others
  • by sharing ideas and opinions openly and thoughtfully
  • by listening actively to the ideas and opinions of others.
