OUR VALUES

AMBITION

We strive to be our best in all that we do, to challenge ourselves and encourage others beyond perceived personal limits.

COMPASSION

We treat everyone with respect and kindness. We consider the impact of our behaviours on others, on our community, and on the wider world, and demonstrate empathy in all that we do.

COLLABORATION

We support each other and learn together, recognising everyone’s unique strengths and challenges. We lead through service, making full use of our skills and talents, and are generous in the way we share them.

INTEGRITY

We are honest with ourselves and with others. We develop a moral compass for fairness and personal responsibility.

ENGAGEMENT

We are committed to and take pride in our school and our learning. We make the most of the opportunities available to us. We join in, we look for adventures, and we encourage and support others to do the same.

Through these shared values and behaviours, we build a strong and supportive Edinburgh Academy Community.
