Key Drivers

Underpinning our vision for educational excellence are our 6 key drivers:

World-class Learning World-class learning in every lesson, every day	Growth Mindset Believe you can improve; work hard and value feedback
The Highest Expectations Everyone can be successful; always set and expect the highest standards	Never Give Up Resilience is essential; be relentless in the pursuit of excellence
No Excuses Create solutions not excuses; make positive thinking a habit	Everyone is Valued Diversity is celebrated; see the best in everyone

These aspirational and inspirational core principles are central to everything that we do and were jointly created by students and staff to drive the academy forward. At Wath Academy, we live and breathe these key drivers with an unwavering passion and determination to ensure that our students receive the best education; we will not settle for anything but the best, and will not rest until the academy is truly great in all areas.
