Vision and Values

Achieve with confidence, belong with pride, thrive for life.

At Booth Wood Academy, we nurture every pupil to become a resilient, confident and independent learner who approaches challenges with determination and a positive mindset.

Our RICHER values are at the heart of everything we do:

  • Resilient - We keep going and never give up.
  • Independent - We take ownership of our learning.
  • Confident - We believe in ourselves and have a go.
  • Honest - We tell the truth and do the right thing.
  • Excellence - We always try our best and aim to be the best we can be.
  • Reflective - We take time to think, learn and grow.

How do we achieve this?

We have high expectations for every child and build strong, supportive relationships that help pupils feel safe, valued and ready to learn. Through our curriculum, enrichment opportunities and wider school experiences, we help children develop the knowledge, skills and character they need for the future.

We encourage pupils to be reflective learners who recognise their achievements, learn from challenges and continually strive to improve. Alongside academic success, we place great importance on developing qualities such as honesty, respect, responsibility and resilience.

By doing so, we prepare our pupils exceptionally well for the next stage of their education and for life beyond Booth Wood Academy.

Booth Wood Academy: Achieve with confidence, belong with pride, thrive for life.

We are excited to begin embedding these values across the school and look forward to working in partnership with our families to help every child embrace and live out our RICHER values each day. Together, we will support our children to achieve with confidence, belong with pride and thrive for life.
