By striving to match or exceed the best academic standards and practice, we are realising our vision for educational excellence in a community with some of the most extreme multiple deprivation in Devon (among the highest 10 per cent for the whole country).
Our vision stems from a desire to be an engine of opportunity for our disadvantaged families by creating an oasis for the children. This should include outstanding learning environments, cutting-edge resources, reflective teaching driven by top-quality CPD, and the highest expectations.
Despite positive Ofsted judgements, accelerated progress and rising standards, the process of academisation in 2012 in the school’s socio-economic context required the senior leader to restore staff belief and self-esteem. That context needed to become the school’s moral purpose and driving force, supported by our multi-academy trust, AET.
