Resources are nothing without you!The Academy is about people, not policies. Each member of the Academy deserves the support and encouragement of adults and pupils alike. In turn, a pupil is expected to give support and encouragement to others; never forget that they too have needs. The Academy provides a fine framework, in which each pupil can discover his or her strengths. However, it is a pupil's own determination and ambition which will bring success. It is important to set good targets in the classroom, in personal manners and in every activity. Your class teacher will be a first-class support if you have difficulties at any stage - but pupils should remember the need to build the trust and the goodwill in plenty of time, not just when you need them. Be positive, be optimistic, keep a ready smile. We are lucky to work in a wonderful school in a lovely city; we must earn our good fortune by giving of our best. |
