Our Vision

At Aughton Junior Academy we aim to create a nurturing school community which prepares children educationally, socially, morally and physically for their continuing learning journey, where doors will be opened rather than closed to future success. We foster a culture of equality and aspiration and aim to remove disadvantage so that every child believes in themselves and reach their full potential.

Our Values

Aughton nurtures its pupils by:

• Providing a safe, happy academy in which pastoral care is given high priority by dedicated staff;
• Expecting and promoting the highest standards of behaviour;
• Giving children an excellent, secure start to their school experience in our FS2 class and establishing positive relationships with parents;
• Developing a strong sense of community and pride, with a “family feel” to the school.

Aughton encourages its pupils to excel by:

• Striving for the highest possible standards of achievement across a broad, well-planned curriculum;
• Using the extensive school grounds and performing arts to stimulate a love of learning in all children;
• Being inclusive and committed to providing for individual children’s needs;
• Ensuring that staff are given opportunities to continue their own learning and to share quality practice with other professionals;

Aughton inspires its pupils to become independent learners by:

• Fostering a willingness to take risks and to persevere in new learning situations;
• Celebrating individual strengths, talents and progress;
• Promoting respectful attitudes and encouraging them to have a voice in the running of the school.
