About Us Curriculum Information Contact Us Pledges Our Pledges initiative encourages our students to value extra-curricular involvement within and outside of the academy. Through meeting the ten Pledges, that range from attending enrichment activities to organising fundraising events, students gain confidence and valuable life experiences that will help to prepare them for life beyond our academy. Pledges encourage our students to become actively involved in our wider school community and to realise that their experiences whilst at school stretch further than the classroom. By promoting independence and teamwork, students can apply new skills and improved confidence to all aspects of their lives. Whether it’s representing our academy on stage, on the field or on excursions, the Pledges encourage our students to get involved, make new friends and take pride in all they do.

This programme will widen and build upon our current Pledges system. We look forward to launching this new initiative in the future.
