Welcome to our Character Education Programme at Ernest Bevin Academy, where we believe that true academic success is built on a strong foundation of character. Our school values—Ambition, Perseverance, and Unity—are at the heart of everything we do. These values not only guide our students' personal growth but also play a crucial role in their academic journey.
- Ambition fuels our students' desire to excel, encouraging them to set high goals and pursue their passions with determination. By fostering a culture of ambition, we empower students to push beyond their limits and strive for excellence in every aspect of their education.
- Perseverance teaches our students the importance of resilience and hard work. We help them understand that success often comes from persistent effort and learning from challenges. This value instils in them the discipline and tenacity needed to overcome obstacles and achieve their academic goals.
- Unity emphasises the power of collaboration and mutual support. We cultivate an environment where students learn to work together, respect diverse perspectives, embrace different cultures, and support one another. This sense of community not only enhances their social skills but also enriches their academic experience by fostering teamwork and collective success.
At EBA, we are committed to providing Education with Character. We present our students with engaging opportunities, experiences and programmes that encourage them to try new experiences, explore their passions, and cultivate their skills while reinforcing their core values. These broad opportunities are essential in helping our students develop the character traits that are crucial for their future success. This approach aligns with one of the six key principles within United Learning's Curriculum.
Our goal at EBA is to offer a thoughtfully designed programme tailored to help our students grow into well-rounded, successful individuals. We believe that these experiences will help our students develop the character traits, attributes, and behaviours that are fundamental to achieving success in both education and their future careers.
At EBA, we are committed to developing students who are not only academically accomplished but also equipped with the character traits that will serve them well throughout their lives. Through our focus on Ambition, Perseverance, and Unity, we prepare our students to achieve their full potential, both in school and beyond.
Our mission at EBA is to ‘build character, create confident, independent, socially responsible individuals who are equipped to make a positive contribution to society and the world of work.’ all of which are closely aligned with our school values of Ambition, Perseverance, and Unity.
