Values
At Icknield Community College, we strive for “excellence for all”. In order to achieve this, we create a school culture in which all students are valued and in which differences are respected and celebrated. We promote tolerance, mutual respect and kindness. We want all of our students to be thoughtful, considerate and caring towards others both in and out of school.
We promote excellent learning for our students. The Icknield curriculum across KS3 and KS4 is designed to give all students an ambitious and comprehensive education at a depth and breadth that enables them to realise their aspirations. In and beyond the classroom, Icknield's broad and balanced programme of learning builds on our students' experience of the primary curriculum and equips them with the independence and confidence they need to thrive as they pursue post-16 courses, further training and life-long learning.
Ultimately, we want all Icknield students to leave us prepared to take the next steps in their lives and to be knowledgeable, responsible and individual citizens.
