Vision, Ethos & Values

At The Eastwood Academy we believe in the potential and individuality of every pupil, we are committed to their progress and success, we understand that this is only possible through strong, supportive relationships - between pupils, staff, families, and the wider community.

Our ethos is rooted in nurturing strong relationships and championing high expectations.

We are relentless in our mission to deliver outstanding relationships so that every pupil is known and valued. With the support of their peers, staff, and home, our pupils are empowered to thrive - both at school and in life.

We aim to provide a school where all pupils:

• Are safe and secure, both physically and emotionally

• Develop as individuals, with confidence, curiosity, and compassion

• Enjoy a wide range of opportunities, both within and beyond the classroom

• Celebrate and share together, building a strong sense of belonging and community

• Feel proud of their school, and of their own achievements

• Develop strength of character, tenacity, and resilience, to face life’s challenges with confidence

• Are ready for life as young adults, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values to succeed in a complex and changing world

Our six core values - Compassion, Courage, Inclusivity, Integrity, Resilience, and Respect - are the foundation which we are proud to call “The Eastwood Way”. These core values guide our actions, shape our community, and inspire our pupils to become principled, thoughtful, and ambitious individuals
