Our Values

Connect deeply. Engage fearlessly. Achieve without limits.

Distinctively, at Akeley Wood we take children with a broad range of abilities, and we support them in recognising and achieving their personal goals. We do not expect them to conform to a certain mould; rather we encourage them to thrive in an environment where independence and individuality is celebrated. Our students are given the freedom to find their distinct voice, and to flourish in their diversity, ultimately becoming whoever they want to be.

Our four school Core Values are terms of practice that clearly define how everyone will work together in the Senior School to achieve the school's vision and carry out its mission.  Core values are not aspirations, and they are not self-congratulatory; they are practical. They guide our school community, "This is how we need to behave, and this is what we need to do to live out our mission and achieve our vision."

Our aim is to inspire a community of global citizens who feel empowered to be active and socially aware.
