Bluecoat Beechdale Academy is built around the three ideas of Belong, Believe and Achieve. The BBA Way ‘Getting it right first time’ Our core values run through all aspects of academy life, where we expect students to be positive, resilient, kind and curious. We believe that by living and breathing these values, students’ experience of school and life beyond the classroom will be all the more enjoyable and successful by consistently ‘getting it right first time’. Each value has an affirmation that is relatable and support students to understand how they can demonstrate the BBA Way consistently.
By deliberately helping students to embed this ethos in their character, we equip our students to take this mindset confidently into a successful future. We encourage students to have self-belief so that they dare to set themselves ambitious goals for their education, career and life as a whole.
Through many things, such as our high standards in uniform, we demonstrate our pride at belonging to the Bluecoat Beechdale Academy community. Our students learn how to build positive relationships so that they will always have the interpersonal skills and confidence to feel comfortable wherever they choose to belong in their adult life. We acknowledge and reward our students for a whole range of achievements – from meeting learning goals, making progress in enrichment activities or demonstrating personal growth and development through improved attitudes to learning. By highlighting the successes our students earn, we believe we will make ‘achievement’ a lifelong habit for them to enjoy.
Our staff are role models of our ‘Belong, Believe, Achieve’ mantra. They live out our ethos every day through their unswerving commitment to our students and their determined approach to continue to learn and develop themselves as a team.
