Arden Academy’s core values are fundamental to our Sixth Form: aspiration, resilience and belonging. We aim for every student to achieve the best outcomes in all their academic studies and wider activities. Our pastoral programme supports everyone in becoming resilient; A levels are hard and our students continue to rise to this challenge. We foster a culture of belonging through our tutorial programme, clubs, trips and by listening to our Sixth Form Leadership Team and weekly student voice. These values are best expressed as: We aim high, we never give up, we stand together.

Academic Rigour
Intellectual Curiosity
Hard Work & Independent Effort
Engagement & Active Contribution to Lessons
Community Spirit & Giving Back to Others (in Arden and beyond)
