Our ethos and values
North Birmingham Academy is a vibrant, diverse community with a thirst for learning and inclusive ethos at our heart. We believe in the mantra of ‘keep up, not catch up’ and this filters through the heart of all we do from curriculum planning to implementation, our SEND and literacy provision – we believe no student should be left behind.
Our students are confident, well-rounded, considerate individuals who work hard to achieve their goals.
We are ambitious for all our students and we help them to ensure they become successful individuals who are ready for the next stage in their journey, be that the world of work, further education or training.
We celebrate success and we do this in an environment of inclusivity and care, where every student feels supported and part of a team.
We embody our values both inside and outside of the classroom in all we do by always Thinking Big, Doing The Right Thing and our unbreakable Team Spirit.
