School Values

Our values underpin everything we do at East Point Academy. We believe these values are essential attributes that our students should have opportunities to develop during their time with us and go on to demonstrate throughout their lives.

Be kind

East Point Academy students are respectful towards each other and staff, this is supported by the EPA10, 10 Lesson Routines you can expect to see students applying all day, every day. Beyond this we expect our students to be kind to themselves, each other, staff and the wider community. Students show this through their manners and their support of the anti-bullying ambassadors. Students recognise there is more similar about us all than different but where there are differences, we show kindness and acceptance.

Work hard

Our curriculum is ambitious, and we appreciate the hard work students must show to achieve their full potential. EPA students know that hard work today may pay off today or in the future. They will show this hard work through high attendance at school and lessons. Completion of work in lessons to the best of their ability as well as their homework. 

Be your best self

We know that demonstrating our values requires dedication over time and this can be hard. We ask our students to strive to be the best version of themselves – in each situation they face making a choice they can feel proud of. This may require courage or humility, but we will routinely expect them to be honest and have integrity. This can be seen in how our students present themselves in terms of their uniform, their oracy and their written work.

Find your passion

Beyond our academic curriculum, EPA students experience a planned range of activities that develop their cultural capital – appreciating not only the value of this to their studies but also to helping them find their passion. From trips abroad, to after school clubs; from a variety of sporting activities to a range of competitions across the curriculum; from Duke of Edinburgh to Warhammer to Debating – we are dedicated to finding something for everyone.
