Vision and Ethos

Vision

At Oak Academy we believe that every child has the right to learn, grow and achieve.

We recognise and celebrate that everyone has different skills, talents and abilities and develop curiosity and opportunity through a broad curriculum offer, delivered by quality first teaching and learning.

Education and well-being are at the heart of what we do.

Our intent is that students acquire and retain both essential knowledge and a wide vocabulary base to allow them to flourish and succeed in life.

We uphold a fundamental belief that all students, regardless of socio-economic background or academic starting point, can and will achieve.  We center our vision around knowledge because we believe that the acquisition of essential knowledge will help to empower our students and equip them with the tools they need to succeed in life.

We want our students to question knowledge, to become critical thinkers around knowledge and be able to apply their knowledge to any task or question that comes their way.

For us, it’s the foundation of their learning.
