At Walney Academy, we believe every young person deserves to feel valued, supported and inspired to fulfil their potential.

We Achieve by:

  • Having high expectations of ourselves and others in learning, behaviour, and personal development;
  • Striving to reach our full potential and being the best we can be;
  • Making meaningful progress that prepares us for further education, employment, and lifelong learning;
  • Developing the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to succeed in an ever‑changing world;
  • Embracing life’s challenges with resilience and the confidence to overcome them.

We Belong by:

  • Being respected, heard and understood as individuals;
  • Showing respect, tolerance, and understanding towards others’ views, beliefs, and cultures;
  • Creating a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued;
  • Taking pride in our school as a place we want to learn and develop;
  • Building positive relationships that support wellbeing and effective learning.

We Contribute by:
