About John Cabot Academy
Academy mission and ethos
We are part of the Cabot Learning Federation however, as an Academy, we have independence about the direction we wish to take and the way we operate. We are proud of our comprehensive intake and the rich cultural mix we all enjoy each day. Cabot is a lively place to be as it is full of motivated students who play a significant part in their own learning. Cabot is also full of dedicated members of staff who work tirelessly alongside the students to ensure that all students are safe, happy, fulfilled and challenged.
Deemed by OfSTED to be an ‘Outstanding’ school, the leadership and management of John Cabot Academy is structured around four main strategic areas:
• Outstanding Student Care
• Outstanding Teaching and Learning
• Outstanding Curriculum
• Outstanding Assessment
We are passionate about providing an outstanding experience for our students and believe wholeheartedly that students should not only learn new knowledge and skills but should also understand why they are learning them. This is the reason why the Cabot strap line is Learners Inspiring Learning.
This is the fundamental ethos and culture of John Cabot Academy. Students have many opportunities to influence not only which programmes of study they embark upon but also how the learning and teaching is designed. We aspire towards the full realisation of students learning and being assessed at the time that is right for them. The first stage of this process is the introduction of vertical tutoring. With students being arranged into 4 tutoring communities we are discovering the benefits of grouping students with others outside of their age group. The next stage in this process is to work towards students learning alongside others at their same stage rather than necessarily their same age.
