Our Vision & Values

Our Vision

For Skinners’ Academy to be a highly successful, aspirational, inclusive and vibrant learning community in which all students are able to thrive academically and socially, achieve excellent outcomes that support their future progression ambitions, feel safe and supported because of strong and respectful relationships with staff and peers, and are enabled to become active and thoughtful citizens who are well-equipped to navigate the challenges and benefit from the opportunities of the adult world.​

Our Ethos

To make this a reality, we are guided by two important principles: 

• Be The Best You Can Be 
• High Challenge, High Support 

Our Values

At Skinners’ Academy, our values shape the character of our community and support every student in becoming the best version of themselves. They guide our actions, interactions, and ambitions, both within and beyond the classroom.

Be Kind

Kindness is at the heart of a respectful and inclusive school community. We promote empathy, compassion, and understanding, recognising that every action, no matter how small, has the power to uplift others and strengthen relationships.

Be Curious 

We nurture a spirit of curiosity by encouraging students to ask questions, explore new ideas, and develop a lifelong love of learning. Curiosity drives innovation and critical thinking, helping learners connect with the world around them in meaningful and engaging ways.

Be Brave

We support students in developing the courage to take risks, speak up, and face challenges with resilience. Being brave means embracing failure as part of learning, standing up for what’s right, and believing in one’s ability to grow and make a difference.
