Vision Every single student to reach and exceed their potential and leave us with the qualifications, skills and attitudes that they need to move on to the next stage of their lives. Aim High.

Reach and exceed your potential… ‘It is possible to do badly at school and go on to get a good job, but it is not common. The Labour Force Survey shows that in % of people with a degree were in work, 75% of people with an A Level or equivalent were in work, 66% of people with GCSEs were in work, but only 42% of people without qualifications were in work. The reality is that having few qualifications is catastrophic for your life time employment trajectory.’ The Tail Let’s consider each of these WIGs in turn. We want 100% of our students to achieve their personal best. Statistics tell us that ‘It is possible to do badly at school and go on to get a good job, but it is not common. The Labour Force Survey showed that in % of people with a degree were in work, 75% of people with an A Level or equivalent were in work, 66% of people with GCSEs were in work, but only 42% of people without qualifications were in work. The reality is that having few qualifications is catastrophic for your life time employment trajectory. And without work, poverty and dependence on benefits are all but inevitable.’ Academic achievement is now more important than it has ever been. “Whole school priorities for raising standards are implemented quickly and consistently by all departments.” Ofsted 2016 Marriotts School: Why go anywhere else!

Attending school everyday is crucial to the progress of every student and ensures there are no gaps in learning. Each year exam analysis reflects the importance of attendance. Attendance is tracked daily by our attendance team. Information is shared fortnightly with the local authority. To ensure every student is making adequate progress , we do not authorise term time holidays and strongly urge all dental and medical appointments to be made outside of the school day. Good punctuality ensures key messages and learning activities are accessed by every student.
