- Achieve excellent outcomes, regardless of starting points. In KS4 this is reflected by a P8 score consistently above national average, and in KS5 a positive Academic and Applied Value Added score. Gaps between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged students, and SEND and non-SEND students, will continue to close.
- Achieve qualifications which enable them to successfully move on to the next step in their education, or into employment. This will be reflected by 0% NEET and above national level achievement of GATSBY Benchmarks.
- Access a wide, rich set of experiences and take opportunities to develop their talents and interests, evidenced via Unifrog.
- Are confident learners, confident communicators and confident future citizens.
