The Wayland Way: #NoExcuses

At Wayland Academy we want to empower our students. “We have high expectations; and just as there are no shortcuts, there are no excuses”.

We intend to give every pupil the same chances in life, no matter where they start from, irrespective of challenge or barrier. Our motto is #NoExcuses and has lead to a campaign which has seen our students produce posters which provide a narrative around significant figures that have overcome challenges and difficulties to become successful.

Those featured are from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures and belief systems, but they all have something in common - they persevered and had #NoExcuses.

For our students these figures act as inspiration and show them that anything is possible.
