At the City of Derby Academy, our vision is to improve the life chances of all students.
We aim to achieve this vision through the 3Ps:
Provide, Promote and Prepare.
Our vision and our aims are underpinned by our core values, the 3Rs:
Respectful, Responsible and Ready to Achieve.
All members of the school community are expected to demonstrate and promote these values. The 3Rs are therefore the foundation of our culture and ethos: “this is how we do it here, every day”.
Whilst we strive for 100%, we acknowledge that students don’t always get it right. That’s why our minimum expectation is 95% for attendance, behaviour and effort.
Students who meet the 3Rs 95% of the time qualify for praise and rewards.
