OUR CORE VALUES

SELF-DISCIPLINE

ENDEAVOUR

EXCELLENCE

We believe that success and the

ability to take control of one's

destiny has to be achieved

through self-control and the

responsibility and ownership of

one's own future. 

There is no substitute for hard

work and only the drive and

persistence to get better and

learn from mistakes and

difficulties will allow our

students to achieve our

aspirational goals. 

We strive for excellence in all

that we do. We expect our

students to realise that there

should be no limit placed on

their ambition and capacity to

achieve. 

We intend for Ark Evelyn Grace academy to be the school of choice in the local

community, whose reputation is centred on great teaching, exemplary behaviour and

unrivalled opportunities beyond the classroom.

The values that underpin and permeate our academy are:

Our teachers have excellent subject

knowledge and a detailed understanding

of the curriculum which they use to

challenge each child whilst fostering a

curiosity for learning.

Lessons are underpinned by high

expectations, from the use of academic

language and grammatical precision to

the level of rigour expected in student

responses.

Here at Ark Evelyn Grace academy,

we are building a school culture

where every student can become

cleverer and kinder every day.

Our pillars are common to all Ark

schools, but our vision for how they

are realised is unique to Ark Evelyn

Grace academy.

We set very high expectations for all

our students and believe that every

child can realise their potential to

achieve strong outcomes with the right

teaching and support.

1. High Expectations

2. Excellent Teaching

OUR ACADEMY PILLARS

We want every student to be suitably

qualified to compete for the best

positions in their chosen career.

We provide excellent careers guidance so

that they make fully informed decisions

about their futures.

3. Exemplary Behaviour

We want all of our students to enjoy

school and be consumed by the joy and

challenge of learning.

Our students are taught to be self-

disciplined and this is evident in their

conduct and attitudes towards one

another, their school and the 

community they live in. Our school is

a purposeful place characterised by a

respectful and orderly environment,

where teachers can focus on teaching

and students on learning.

4. Depth for breadth

We prioritise depth for breadth. All

students secure firm foundations in

English and mathematics and this

underpins excellence in other subject

disciplines.

Our curriculum is rigorous and

knowledge-rich with pupils mastering

key understanding before moving on.

This facilitates their access to life-long

learning

5. Knowing Every Child

Positive relationships between pupils and

adults reinforce a culture where children

are safe and maintain excellent

behaviour and a commitment to learning.

We value diversity and inclusion, it is

important that every student knows

and is known well by their teachers so

that every individual can flourish.

We explicitly develop the character

and habits which support pupils’

academic and personal development.

6. Always learning

We are a community of learners who learn

best when we learn together. We are

committed in our pursuit of developing

excellence in our teachers through high

quality professional development.

We know that you can never arrive as a

teacher and so we continuously seek to

develop and help our staff progress and

develop through collaborative planning,

training, observation and coaching.
