Our vision
Our three-fold vision for the Archer Academy is rooted in our desire to provide an outstanding, inclusive and ambitious education for local children, an experience that they will relish and that will prepare them for adult life. It underpins every aspect of life at the Archer Academy, and is the benchmark against which we measure our success.
Realising potential
Helping students to achieve personally, socially and academically to the best of their abilities. Our outstanding teachers set high standards and challenge each and every student to fulfil their individual potential, both in their studies and through extra-curricular activities.
Inspiring creativity
Providing an enjoyable and inspirational education that encourages students to be analytical, inventive and self-motivated. This commitment to creativity and analytical thinking applies across the whole curriculum as well as our extra-curricular opportunities.
Engaging with our community
Ensuring that students respect others and value working with others for mutual benefit. The Archer Academy is a school with its roots in the community, and so responsibility and participation are fundamental to our ethos.
“Pupils make outstanding progress and reach high standards. They also develop into well-rounded individuals by adopting the ‘Archer Way’.”
