Our vision and values
As an Astrea Academy, we subscribe fully to the trust’s values. Astrea’s future success is underpinned by a strong set of shared values. These values are important because they support the vision, shape the culture, and make a statement about what we as Astrea hold dear:
- Scholarship – We will be informed by the best of academic and organisational thinking and research, using this where we can and expanding it where possible.
- Curiosity – We will ask searching questions, not take things on face value, seek out the best of what is known and engage in appreciative enquiry.
- Tenacity – We will deliver on our promises and see things through to completion. We will embody pace, urgency and determination in our focus on improving outcomes for children and on our own performance
- Respect – We expect to treat each other with respect, in all forms of communication and interaction, and we expect everyone to embrace and celebrate difference; we also expect respect of the academy and community environment
- Responsibility – we accept responsibility and commit to ensuring we do not place barriers in the way of students achieving the very best outcomes they can, irrespective of their back-story; we expect students to also accept responsibility for their actions
As part of this commitment to improvement, we will be relentless in our ambition to ensure all students, irrespective of their background, can achieve in line with and beyond their potential. We will remain steadfastly unapologetic in demanding high standards and expectations from all staff and students, through the use of clear and consistent routines for behaviour and learning.
