Our vision is supported through 4 core values that underpin our decisions, actions and behaviours.
Community | Ambition | Relationships | Excellence
Community - To build a Paignton community where everyone feels a genuine sense of pride, and belonging: a place defined by respect, hard work, and unwavering commitment to one another. We believe that when adults are supported, skilled and aligned, students succeed. As a proudly comprehensive coastal community, we celebrate every individual’s strength and talent. We are proud to work alongside a community facing its challenges but not fixing a challenging community so that by working together we create successful futures for all.
Ambition - To build a Paignton community which inspires ambition in every person, creating academic success and nurturing personal and professional growth. Through an ambitious curriculum where learners are supported and challenged to show excellence, through high expectations and high-quality adaptive teaching, we broaden horizons and take pride in developing confident individuals who are ready to succeed in life and contribute positively to the Paignton community and beyond. Our staff and students grow together: developed, supported and encouraged to be proactive, confident and outward facing.
Relationships - To build a Paignton community based on outstanding relationships where every student is known and, through high expectations, praise, mutual respect and strong routines, enables every learner to thrive. We are committed to a supportive environment in which high‑quality, adaptive teaching meets the needs of every student and nurtures a love of learning. With a shared sense of responsibility, purpose and community pride, we work together to ensure everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.
Excellence - To build a Paignton community that achieves excellence everywhere by fostering a learning community where ambition thrives and every individual is supported to grow personally, professionally, and academically. Through high‑quality, adaptive teaching and a commitment to nurturing every learner, we empower our community to pursue success with confidence and pride. Together, we create an environment and a commitment to excellence everywhere, we transform lives and enable all to thrive.
