Academy Mission and Values

Welcome to Hanham Woods Academy, a proud member of the Cabot Learning Federation. I’m incredibly proud to lead such a remarkable academy where colleagues and students thrive.

Our mission at the academy is simple: we want to give people the best chance of success. Academic results are important (as they help unlock opportunity) but we also take great pride in developing the character of every student. We want students to ‘climb the mountain’ to become the best possible version of themselves so that they can have a positive impact in society and lead a happy, purposeful life.

Our mission is underpinned by the academy values…

Dream BIG:

Education changes your destiny. Anything is possible with the right attitude. You can achieve more than you ever thought possible.

Work Hard:

The more effort you put in, the more you will get in life. Success starts with hard work. Give 100% in everything you do, every lesson, every day.

Be Kind:

Politeness gets where you want to go in life. Always be kind and respectful to everyone. Follow instructions first time, every time.

Quite good is not good enough. We are relentlessly working together and supporting each other in an inclusive environment to provide a world class education that develops, challenges, and supports all students to grow.

I look forward to welcoming you to our academy.
