Our Vision
Supporting each other, achieving together.
At Unified Academy we use a highly personalised approach, that caters to the different needs and abilities of our students on order to secure the best possible outcomes for them. Our aim is that they develop high aspirations for the future with the skills and knowledge to achieve them so they are able to positively contribute to wider community.
Our Ethos and Values
Unified Academy follows a nurture-based reflective and restorative approach with
all students, which includes educating students about appropriate and behaviour and responses, rather than using a consequence-based approach.
We have the highest standards and expectations for all children to experience
success, lead empathetic lives and fill productive roles as members of society. Their
individual contributions to school life will be valued and their talents celebrated.
Students, staff, parents and visitors will show respect for, acceptance of and
responsibility to ourselves, each other and the wider community.
Together we will build a fun, safe and caring school that promotes the joy of learning,
high personal achievement, respect for individual differences, dignity for all and
equal opportunities by eliminating discrimination.
We will nurture, encourage and listen to every voice in our community, including
students, parents and carers, friends and staff. Maximising the potential of every
student will be placed at the heart of all decision making.
We will always be a strong advocate for Unified Academy; being proud of our school and Trust.
