About the academy
Ethos and Values
We are not going to preach what our values are, that would go against
the open, transparent and collaborative approach we are trying to
foster. We believe our values should reflect those of our staff, learners
and parents, and evolve with the Academy and its community as it
develops.
The Academy’s behaviour and routines will be rooted in the concepts and pursuit of:
- Excellence
- Respect
- Innovation
- Celebration
Sirius Academy aims to develop learners who:
- are literate and who can access the full learner entitlement;
- are numerate;

- are actively supported and encouraged in their learning by their families and peers;
- are respected and who respect each other and their environment;
- are individuals and yet belong and make an active contribution to a wider community;
- are motivated to succeed and who enjoy learning and life at the Academy;
- are ready to take their place in society;
- are healthy, safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and achieve economic well being;
- have high aspirations for themselves and for their communities.
