Welcome to Watling Academy

A very warm welcome to Watling Academy and thank you for your interest in our Academy.

Our School Values

The Trust’s mission – to provide the highest standards of Education, Care and Opportunity for all its students is underpinned by the ‘Watling Way’ exemplifying our core values of

Respect

Respect for ourselves and others, accepting the value and existence of alternative opinions and viewpoints whilst understanding the parameters in which a successful school community has to operate.

Responsibility

All members of the community will be aware of the consequences of their actions and words and understand that the choices they make can have a long-term impact on others and the environment.

Kindness

Fundamentally linked to respect and responsibility. For us this means that students will be kind not just in what they do and think about others but also about themselves.

“I am so very impressed with the school ethics and all of the teachers. The school is very much doing what you said it would on the open evening all that time ago.”
