Values & Ethos

The Axholme Academy Vision and Mission:

'Beyond Expectations'

Our school vision was reviewed as we converted to an academy in 2012. We did this over the course of several months and involved staff, students, governors and parents. After everyone contributed we arrived at the common vision, mission and a new motto ‘Beyond Expectations’. We review our vision and mission every year. We think that these statements reflect very clearly what this academy stands for.

Vision

At The Axholme Academy we aim to achieve excellence in all aspects of school life through high quality teaching and learning, a creative and challenging curriculum, and an ethos of support, in order to develop independent learners who are well prepared for the next stage of their lives.

‘Every learner is ready and able to go beyond expectations.’

We achieve our vision through quality first teaching and a 5 year learning journey which enables every learner to be : 

  • Confident
  • Ambitious
  • Independent
  • Resilient
  • Responsible
  • Aware
  • Thoughtful
  • Involved
  • Reflective

We provide opportunities for every learner to achieve their best possible outcomes, make a positive contribution and be prepared for their future learning and life.
