Attitude to Learning
At Sirius Academy North, we have very high ‘No Limits’ expectations of our students, both inside and outside of the classroom. It is our aim for the students to leave the Academy with an excellent portfolio of academic grades, as well as being a well rounded individual that has gained access to a range of opportunities as a product of their efforts whilst at secondary school.
We have a distinct set of Curriculum Principles that we expect our students to embody on a daily basis. These principles play a critical role in helping the students model the highest of standards that are essential to becoming a responsible young adult that is ready to enter the wider world around them.
We strive to recognise excellence and do so through our attitude to learning programme. It is expected that all learners strive to become a ‘No Limits expert learner’. If a student does not meet these standards, they will be regularly challenged to raise their aspirations, in order to promote positive actions to take the steps in becoming an expert learner.
Results show that Expert Learners outperform all other students in the Year 11 exams. This can be on average 3 grades higher across all subjects.
