Our Vision, Values and Going for Gold

At Creswick Academy, we want all children to become confident learners for life.

Our vision, “Confident Learners for Life,” sits at the heart of everything we do. This vision is enacted through our Going for Gold values of cooperation, motivation, independence, respect, kindness and challenge. These values underpin all school policies, behaviour expectations and curriculum design, creating a consistent, nurturing and ambitious ethos across the school community. They equip children with the personal qualities and resilience needed for lifelong learning and success. 

As part of the Agora Learning Partnership, we share a set of values that were chosen by children from across the Partnership.

We celebrate these values across the school year. They describe the qualities we want our children to develop as they learn, grow and become increasingly independent.

A is for Ambition

We encourage children to aim high, believe in themselves and work towards their goals.

G is for Generosity

We encourage children to be generous with their time, their kindness and their support for others.

O is for Optimism

We help children to approach challenges positively, recognise what is possible and keep going when things are difficult.

R is for Respect

We teach children to value themselves, other people, their community and the world around them.

A is for Adventurous and Brave

We encourage children to try new things, take sensible risks, challenge themselves and have the confidence to learn from mistakes.

Together, these values spell AGORA and are woven through school life. They help children understand the qualities we value and the kind of people we hope they will become.
