What the school offers its staff
We
are on an aspirational journey under experienced and ambitious leadership.
Our vision is to be the best version of ourselves in an environment designed to
be rewarding, stimulating, and challenging so that students can actualise their
potential. Our strong community creates a place of opportunity which allows its
students to flourish, find expression, build strength of character, and make
positive decisions when faced with adversity. This is guided and discovered
through a rich pastoral system which makes a real difference to students lives.
Our alumni progress onto prestigious pathways that lead students access
university, apprenticeships, and impressive chosen careers, contributing
significantly to the world.
We are dedicated to building opportunities for all students to not only achieve
the highest academic standards but also ensure that their unique personality,
talents, and interests are nurtured and developed to the full. There is a
synergy between developing a well-rounded individual and a strong academic
record; students maximise their potential when nurtured in a positive and
enriching learning environment.
Changes to, and investment in, the physical building and the environment saw us
recruit some fantastic new members of teaching and support staff. All this,
combined with William Lovell's distinctive Christian ethos and strong sense of
community, mean that the future is very exciting for students at the
school.
Our broad and balanced curriculum is complemented by an extensive range of
enrichment activities such as creative arts, sports, music, student leadership
and academic master classes, amongst many others.
As a Church of England school, our underpinning values, which are deep-rooted
in the Christian story, are the driving force of our academy. They resonate
through everything we do, creating an inclusive culture where all faiths are
valued, everybody is shown and receives Respect, Truth
is modelled and encouraged, Generosity is
given without expectation to receive, Forgiveness is
practised, and Justice is
demonstrated.
