Leading students to a bright future

Our mission

At Noel-Baker Academy we are producing leaders and learners for a lifetime of successes.

We strive to:

  • Develop students who make excellent progress in all their studies and have clear progression routes for their future lives.
  • Prepare students to be successful and happy adults who demonstrate good citizenship and positive contributions to their communities.
  • Be a place of celebration and belonging where all exhibit the highest standards of behaviour and care for others.
  • Be an academy rooted in its local community and promoting its place in the national community and the international platform.

Our vision

Embrace your entitlement; strive for extraordinary.

At Noel-Baker Academy, everything we do is underpinned by our belief that students are entitled to the very best breadth and depth of provision. We are proud of our students and our community and are determined that every member of the Noel-Baker Academy community will strive to be extraordinary.

 

Our values

Our values are aligned with the values of L.E.A.D. Academy Trust.

Lead – to show the way; to be first or foremost

At Noel-Baker, we lead by example. We are compassionate, considerate and kind. We welcome and value all members of our community and work together to support our students in achieving extraordinary. We have clear structures, routines and boundaries so that our students can understand what success looks like and lead themselves and their peers to a bright future.

Empower – To give power; to enable

We teach our children to take responsibility for themselves. By insisting on extraordinarily high standards of behaviour and learning habits we enable them to make excellent progress in all their studies and have clear progression routes for their future lives. We ensure they have their entitlement to the very best that has been thought and said because the more you know, the more you are able to learn and understand.

Achieve – To accomplish; to get or attain by effort

We expect our students to work hard inside and outside of school so that they can become successful and happy adults who demonstrate good citizenship and make positive contributions to their communities. We celebrate the achievements of all students, past and present, both academically and in their wider accomplishments. Once Noel-Baker, always Noel-Baker.

Drive – To cause and guide progress; to impel forward

We recognise that success takes hard work, commitment and perseverance. We build habits throughout our school lives which enable us to drive ourselves to success for life. We know that students who put in more effort, who practise and persevere will see success in their journey to extraordinary. The whole of the Noel-Baker Academy community works hard to ensure all of our students are able to drive themselves to success.
