Vision & Values

At The Grange Academy, our vision and values underpin everything we do, shaping a supportive and inspiring environment where every child can thrive. Rooted in our vision of Learning for Life, our Agora Values guide how we learn, grow, and interact as a community. They reflect our commitment to fostering respect, responsibility, and readiness in all aspects of school life.

We believe in "Learning for Life"

Our Vision: 5 Key Principles of 'Learning for Life'

Our Values and Ethos

The Grange Academy is proud to be a member of the Agora Learning Partnership. The ten schools who currently belong to our Partnership benefit greatly from working collaboratively, providing help and support to one another. As an Agora school, we work hard to create a values-based community. This also includes the fundamental British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.  Values education provides a framework for enabling pupils to become thinking self-responsible and caring citizens. Values are taught in assembly as well as special focus-days throughout the year, and they are reinforced by all staff members when the opportunity presents itself. 

Our Agora Values are: 

Ambition

Generosity

Optimism

Respect

Adventurous and Brave
