Ethos, Mission, Values & Drivers

Ethos

Our ethos is built on the values of Diligence, Kindness and Respect. We believe that perseverance, imagination, creativity, and effective teamwork can be combined to enable all students to access fulfilling careers in the long term.

We aim to create a school environment that is truly child-centred, places learning and teaching at its heart, and has the highest expectations of its students.

Our vision is to ensure that our children achieve outstanding results and become responsible citizens who are respectful of the environment and keen to play an active role in the global community.

Mission

Whitworth Park Academy provides an education that transforms lives. We ensure that children have the knowledge, skills, qualifications and experiences that allow them choices for their futures. 

As an academy, we support the whole child and every child to reach and surpass their potential, ensuring they are happy, valued, supported and successful. We maximise the time that we spend together and provide life changing, extraordinary educational experiences for our children. 

We place children at the heart of everything we do. 

Values & Drivers

We are driven by the core values of Diligence, Kindness, and Respect, and by the motivational drivers of Mastery, Autonomy, and Purpose.
