Underpinning Lift Schools' vision is our commitment to the Key Outcomes of the Every Child Matters agenda. At Lift Schools these will be based upon a set of Values and Beliefs.
Through our actions and behaviours we will strive to develop young people who:
respect themselves and the community (people, property and the environment);
are polite, calm, caring, honest, trustworthy and helpful;
are responsible, independent and supportive of each other;
are tolerant, open minded and not prejudiced;
are determined and have a strong work ethic;
are thoughtful and have the ability to listen;
have good communication skills;
offer themselves as good role models for younger students;
can demonstrate strong self-belief and confidence and have high aspirations;
can work together in groups and, as they develop, can begin to lead others.
Our Vision & Ambition
Our Vision & Ambition
At Aylward Academy we intend all our students, regardless of background, to become brave, inquisitive and independent thinkers. We aim to challenge our students through a rich learning journey, and, as a result of an academic curriculum focused on depth of a wide body of knowledge and skills, as well as the wider curriculum experiences we offer, students are empowered to broaden their interests, develop their character and ‘find their remarkable’.
Our ambition is to inspire our students to see learning as a lifelong journey. We want them to all push their limits to achieve the best possible outcomes both in terms of qualifications, but also in terms of being the best person they can be in their future lives by developing into big-hearted individuals, who show kindness to each other. We want them to understand the possibilities that they have out in the wider world and not allow their ambitions to be constrained by what they perceive to be their opportunities when they join us at the beginning of their journey. We want to do this through inspiring them to question what they know and understand, what they think and what others tell them. We want them to realise that the world is full of big questions; to discover that anything is possible.
