About Q3 Academy Tipton
A Welcome Message from our Headteacher
I am delighted that you are looking for information about Q3 Academy Tipton. Our mission is to be incredible in everything that staff and our students do, with students: knowing more, doing more, achieving more. We are proudly a comprehensive and community school and we acknowledge the wide variety in diversity and opportunity this provides us. We celebrate each child for their individualities in preparing them to ‘live life to the full’. With approximately 1600 students from ages 11-19, we are proudly a school of choice. We constantly work to be pioneering and relevant, introducing strategies and initiatives which support closing gaps for all students in order for them to achieve their own ‘incredible’.
All of our work is underpinned by our four values which run through everything we do like letters through a stick of rock:
Ambition: The desire to be incredible; to want more for yourself and others and not choose the easiest option.
Kindness: Incredible support and manners for everybody and everything around you
Resilience: The ability and hard work to keep going even when things are more challenging, to achieve ‘incredible’.
Respect: The understanding and acceptance that others may have different views and goals.
These four values uphold our focus on ‘Academic Rigour’ as we support and challenge students to achieve incredible things in all of their learning, particularly the ambition by not choosing the easiest option and resilience in working hard to achieve it. Academic Rigour provides 7 aspects for us to develop: critical thinking, active learning, meaningful content, appropriate challenge, healthy struggle, thinking harder, achieve more independently.
Our curriculum is broad and challenging and provides opportunities for all students to be successful and find their ‘incredible’, building on prior learning from Primary school and preparing them for life beyond school. Alongside our supportive, yet challenging curriculum we offer many extra-curricular and wider opportunities to support students’ development and experiences beyond the academic. We unashamedly expect the highest of standards from all members of our community and hold our students to account by being: kind, ambitious, resilient and respectful.
