mission

We aspire to be an outstanding learning community, where discovery is exciting, endeavour and creativity are nurtured and dreams and ambitions are fulfilled. Mr A Birkett, Principal

discovery

'The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be on course when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day.' Albert Einstein

creativity

‘The very successful integrated approach that the school makes towards developing the social and emotional aspects of learning has been widely recognised both nationally and locally, and ensures outstanding care, guidance and support for students.’ Ofsted Report 2007

endeavour

We look for opportunities to encourage young people to push themselves to new heights. We are constantly delighted by the way they rise to this challenge, support each other with strong leadership and develop qualities that can help them face life's challenges with a 'can do' attitude.'

fulfilment

It's cool to succeed at Hele's and we celebrate achievements and milestones equally. Often the greatest fulfilment comes when difficult challenges are faced and barriers overcome. Every child, regardless of circumstances, can achieve and be fulfilled.

learning

'Positive relationships are a cornerstone of the academy's success and help to establish an atmosphere conducive to learning.' Ofsted Report 2012
