We know that for each pupil to achieve success, the Academy must create a culture of aspiration and self-belief, supported by a state of the art development system.

We have rigorous target setting and performance management systems for all of our activities. These are kept under constant review by the Senior Leadership Team, Governing Body and Dunstone Education Trust.

Each pupil has a personalised learning plan designed to challenge and support them. Progress, behaviour and attendance are monitored carefully and early action is taken in any areas where a pupil’s progress is causing concern.

Parents also have an important role to play in ensuring their child achieves their potential. They receive half-termly report cards and we hold performance review meetings with parents for those pupils who are not making expected progress. We set challenging, but realistic, targets for the pupils.
