EXCELLENCE Growing to be the best you can be Excellent facilities As the school has grown, we have built new facilities to create a superb site where classrooms are equipped with the latest technology to enable high-quality learning. Our sports facilities, study areas and social spaces for students have all been redeveloped to create a vibrant and purposeful learning environment that we are all proud of.

We continue to upgrade and innovate to ensure that we have the best possible resources and facilities to help our students thrive and achieve.

Excellent staff By delivering excellent lessons, our staff provide our students with opportunities to broaden and deepen their understanding and develop their wider skills.

We know that excellent teachers make learning engaging and interesting; we constantly reflect and share ideas to develop our approach and ensure our students reach their full potential.

COMMITMENT Taking opportunities and being passionate about learning The positive culture of our school is founded on commitment from staff, students and parents.

Our staff take pride in their work and staff and students share high expectations. Our students demonstrate commitment to the school, to each other and to their own learning and progress.

Our parents commit to supporting the learning of their children at home and upholding the ethos and values of the school. Strong commitment makes the school a busy, vibrant, purposeful and productive place to be.

RESPECT Caring about each other and appreciating individuality Our school culture is underpinned by mutual respect between students, staff and parents. Positive relationships enable the school to function efficiently with a sense of common purpose. We encourage students to develop self-respect, to take pride in positive achievement and to take care of their own physical and mental health.

Our rules are simple and are centred around showing respect to others. Respect for the school environment and facilities develops a sense of belonging.

It is important that our students are proud of their Leventhorpe identity, acting as role models in school and in the local community.

Thrive An exciting curriculum Our range of subjects provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their future pathways. Students benefit from our specialist facilities and expert teaching in Science, Maths, Computing, Technology, Art, PE, Performing Arts, Humanities, Business, English and Modern Foreign Languages. Our curriculum pathways through to Sixth Form encourage creativity and enterprise, alongside traditional academic subjects.

Our excellent range of careers advice, support and activities helps every student find the right future opportunities in education, training or employment.

Achieve Challenge and opportunity Achieving excellent academic outcomes for all students is our core purpose. Great exam results enable our students to progress on their chosen pathways. We recognise, however, that the most successful people in life have strong interpersonal skills and a broad range of experiences to complement their academic knowledge. The development of leadership, teamwork, communicaton and problem-solving skills in our lessons and extra-curricular provision enriches our students’ learning and experience.

We have an exciting range of clubs, trips and visits across all subject areas and year groups.

Our enrichment offering adds breadth to students’ school experience and provides an opportunity for students to develop their confidence, resilience and interpersonal skills.

Care All students are supported to achieve their best We are proud of the pastoral care we provide to our students. Tutors and Heads of Year know students well and respond efficiently to concerns and issues. Our staff are experienced and skilled in working with young people, helping them navigate the social and emotional issues that are becoming increasingly challenging in the modern world.

We understand the importance of positive mental health for our young people and the impact this has on student development, learning and achievement.

We teach our students how to recognise concerns and develop strategies to overcome issues.

Community We are a community Staff, parents and students work together with the shared purpose of providing the best for our students. We value our relationships and look for ways to positively engage with each other. Our school community is inclusive, empathetic and compassionate.
