Vision and Aims
The Thomas Adams School Vision is that all students, whatever their circumstances, achieve their potential and are ready to contribute fully to their families, community and society.
This is not to be defined in terms of just examination success, although this is obviously vital, but includes achievement in all other areas including the ability to continue learning, solve problems, develop resilience and be active, informed citizens, prepared for life in modern-day Britain.
We must ensure that the school embraces an achievement culture with a shared vision. Every aspect of the school has to reflect the very best practice, with rigorous systems, attention to detail and a high degree of personalisation.
Ofsted report
“Teachers and teaching assistants work together effectively and the help they give is matched well to the accurate assessment they make of students’ learning needs. This ensures that all abilities, including disabled students and those who have special educational needs and the most able, make good progress in all subjects.”
