Culture, Ethos & British Values

Culture & Ethos

Serve, Support, Success

At Harris Academy Falconwood, we strongly believe that our young people should have access to the best that education has to offer.  Everything we do within our Academy is based around our three core values which support our students to become happy, educated young people with the drive and desire to succeed.

SERVE:

We have built a caring and inclusive community where our students serve themselves, each other and our local community daily.

SUPPORT:

We support our students throughout their time with us, equipping them with the tools and knowledge they need to achieve their future dreams and aspirations.

SUCCESS:

We pride ourselves on providing our students with a strong academic foundation to ensure our young people are able to excel in their next steps. Our students leave us with strong academic qualifications, a currency that opens doors to their future career choices.

British Values

Harris Academy Falconwood actively promotes and practises acceptance and engagement with the fundamental British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs; the students develop and demonstrate skills and attitudes that will allow them to participate fully in and contribute positively to life in modern Britain.

We enable students and staff to develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence as well as encourage them to respect each other and other’s opinions.  We encourage an understanding of right and wrong, taking responsibility, how we contribute to society and being tolerant of each other and our cultural traditions.  This is further promoted in our Academy Assemblies, Celebration of Achievement Evenings and Tutor Time Programme as well as across the Curriculum as a whole.
