About Armthorpe Academy
Armthorpe Academy is an 11-16 school located in the town of Doncaster, South Yorkshire. The learning our children experience is a broad and balanced diet that provides intellectual, moral, creative and emotional stimulation. It is an exciting time to be part of our academy, as with the support of Consilium, we are constantly working to develop and evolve our curriculum and pedagogy to ensure all students can flourish. This means not only striving to fulfil the academic potential of all our learners, but also teaching our young people how to care for themselves mentally and physically, as well as facilitating opportunities for them to enjoy and live life to the full beyond the taught curriculum.
At Armthorpe, we believe every learner is an individual with a unique personality, characteristics and the potential to shine. Inclusion therefore lies at the heart of everything we do. Childhood is changing. Our learners are growing up in a world defined by fast-paced technological development living increasingly online, in spaces adults sometimes struggle to understand. We place great value on preparing our learners to thrive in 21st century Britain, not just academically but socially, emotionally, morally and culturally too. It has never been more important to equip our students to adapt to and embrace change, develop their resilience and creative thinking skills whilst instilling a real love of learning. The development of the whole person is imperative to us.
Respect
· Being a leader: Doing the right thing when no-one is watching (both inside and outside of school).
· Executing the basics: Smiling, saying please/thank you, opening doors and treating others how we would want to be treated ourselves.
· Following and accepting rules without argument.
Responsibility
· Being responsible: doing the ‘things’ you are supposed to do.
· Accepting responsibility: enjoying praise for ‘things’ you have done well (positive choices) and admitting to and accepting the consequences for ‘things’ you have not done well (poor choices).
· Role modelling responsibility: encouraging others to make positive choices.
Resilience
· Being prepared to embrace challenges and unknown situations.
· Bouncebackability! Realizing sometimes we must try things several times before we learn or find a solution.
· Being ruthless and relentless in striving for success – we do not stop until we are as good as we can be!
Pride
· Constantly working hard – nothing replaces hard work.
· Actively listening to others so we are always learning and improving, know it, own it, do it!
· Thinking for ourselves and never being afraid to share our ideas/thoughts when requested – we aim for solution focused creative minds
Ambition
· If our dreams do not scare us, they are not big enough.
· Having a dream we can articulate.
· Understanding what excellence looks like and constantly striving for it.
In January 2019, we were judged by Ofsted to be ‘Good’ in every category which is testament to the hard work and dedication of the staff and students. As Armthorpe grows and develops as part of the Trust, this new appointment will play an integral part in shaping the future of the school.
