We will strive to make Wandle Valley Academy a place where staff, governors and parents/carers work together to support pupils in reaching their individual and unique potential. Offering a safe environment for our pupils to learn the strategies they will need to become life long learners and to be able to aspire to achieve in all areas of their life.
It's about more than education
We aim to provide a school which will enable us to:
Enhance the pupils' quality of learning through effective and efficient delivery of curriculum.
Provide carefully differentiated learning experiences, both social and academic, appropriate to age, ability and needs.
Provide opportunities for every individual in the school community to develop their potential.
Openly acknowledge and celebrate success.
Empower pupils to be active participants in helping to create an interesting and stimulating environment, which they value and enjoy.
Become a resource base which is valued by other schools and the community.
Promote a positive self image free from prejudice and stereotypes.
Prepare pupils for return to mainstream if it is in their best interest.
Adopt a philosophy to change, which ensures growth and vision.
