Attitude to Learning 

Students are expected to show a positive approach to learning at all times. If students do not conform with the school ATL policy then appropriate actions will be taken.

Aspiration  

We want to promote an environment where students aspire to be successful and are accountable for their actions and learning. Students will be supported to become independent learners and will be provided with Careers, Information, Advice and Guidance (CIAG) throughout their school life.

Attainment 

Student progress and attainment will be tracked carefully throughout their time at The Harleston Sancroft Academy and we want students, parents and staff to strive for the best results possible.
