Our Values and Beliefs
Students First
Outwood Academy Portland is a learning community which puts students first in everything that we do. Our students are at the heart of every decision we make.
Learning is the most important aspect of our academy and all members of our community are learners.
We believe in:
Constantly striving to be outstanding.
Synergy and collaboration.
Learning in a culture of respect.
Mastering the skills, qualities and habits of highly effective people.
Being aspirational, proactive and optimistic.
Offering a curriculum that challenges and supports all learners.
Placing our values at the centre of all we do.
Being intrinsically motivated and doing the right thing even when nobody is looking.
The Outwood Pyramid
At Outwood Academy Portland we are all safe, respectful and responsible. We model our behaviour and conduct on the Outwood pyramid. We want all students to aim for the top of the pyramid, where safe conduct, respect for each other and ourselves, as well as taking responsibility for everything we do is the norm. It becomes, quite simply, who we are.
Our policies and procedures are outlined on our school website.
