Values and vision

Unsworth Academy’s vision is to inspire learners to achieve their full potential and succeed in all that they do, with the motto: “Inspire, Challenge, Excel.” The secondary school has three core values: respect, pride and ambition, and hopes that by following these, everyone at the school will go on to have a successful and fulfilling life. The school believes in working together as a community to ensure that its goals are met. Students are encouraged to take part in extra-curricular activities to gain additional learning experiences outside of the classroom and gain further knowledge and confidence. These range from after school clubs and trips to an active Student Council, where leadership and teamwork skills are practiced. The school also encourages students to become active citizens of the community through organising charity and fundraising events.
