Our Vision and Values

Vision

At Ansford, we are committing to creating a great place to learn, work and grow. Learning together to lead our lives, reflects our belief in equipping individuals with the skills to make a success of their lives – to secure useful and rewarding work, make and sustain good relationships and contribute positively to local and global communities.

Our focus at Ansford Academy – for students, teachers, associate staff and families – is on learning how to be the best we can be. We seek to achieve this through:

  • Unlocking potential and securing futures

Values

We ARE Ansford

At Ansford we use the motto “Aspire, Respect, Engage”.  Our motto “ARE” encapsulates the core values of Ansford Academy. The phrase reflects the school’s commitment to encouraging ambition, fostering mutual respect, and promoting active participation among its students. 

 

Aspire 

We seek to raise the aspirations and expectations of all students by providing challenge and opportunity within our curriculum. The goal is to help our students reach their full potential and be ambitious for their futures.

Respect

Mutual respect is central to our ethos. It is taught and promoted through school rules, curriculum, community events, and sports.  This includes respecting individual students and their potential for growth.

Engage 

We work to create opportunities for all students to be active participants in their learning and development. This includes engagement in a wide range of academic and enrichment activities, such as school trips, school productions, sporting events and extracurricular clubs. We also encourage students to engage with their community and the wider world.
