Our Vision and Values underpin all that we do at Jacobstow Community Academy. They run through everyday life at the school and shape how we act, how we treat each other and reinforce our curriculum offer. Our Vision and Values were constructed through a consultation process involving all of the children, our staff, and our families, so that they reflect our community, and we all have a shared understanding of what it is like to be part of the Jacobstow family.
Our vision is ‘To grow, flourish and achieve the extraordinary’. Our children understand that they can succeed and flourish in whatever they choose to do and wherever they choose to do it, and they can achieve great things. This is true of not only the children but of our community, the adults working in the school, and our parents and carers. We hold high aspirations for our children and our community so that they can flourish and be prepared for their next step in life.
‘Flourishing Futures’
The highest of expectations ensure our commitment to maintain and build upon outstanding outcomes for all of our children. Our values drive the curriculum experience that we offer our children. We foster an environment in which children’s contributions and children as individuals are valued and respected. We have a vision of our school as a productive, stimulating and rich learning environment in which children and staff experience equal opportunity in all things in order that their true potential is realised. Improving basic skills is the responsibility of all staff.
At Jacobstow Community Academy, we sow seeds of:
Respect: We treat everyone with kindness and listen to others. We value each person and their ideas.
Love: We care for each other, show kindness, and always help others when they need it.
Aspiration: We dream big and work hard to reach our goals. We always aim to be our best.
Self-Worth: We believe in ourselves and know that we are important. We feel proud of who we are and what we can do.
Resilience: When things get tough, we don’t give up. We keep trying and learn from our mistakes.
Curiosity: We love asking questions and exploring new things. We are excited to learn and discover the world around us.
