Our Pledge

We are excited about the prospect of seeing young people develop during their time at Mercia Academy and we will work alongside parents and carers to achieve this.

We believe that Mercia Academy offers the very best opportunity for academic success and the holistic journey from Year 7 to 11.  

Our pledge means that we will endeavour to: 

  • Ensure that every young person feels safe, happy and valued, so that they can have outstanding academic success and holistic development regardless of their background. 
  • Provide a pastoral structure consisting of well-trained and caring staff who will know every student individually to meet their needs and support them through their educational journey. 
  • Teach engaging, challenging and creative lessons which will foster a love of learning, promote leadership and clear preparation for further studies and interests. 
  • Offer targeted paths for students in order to help them develop their individual talent, whether this be in sports, the arts, science and technology, humanities, maths, enterprise, design or languages. 
  • Seek to guarantee our young people know the necessary steps to be successful by providing comprehensive guidance on appropriate courses and apprenticeships which feed into the career path they wish to follow. 
  • Have a wide range of extra-curricular and holistic opportunities, including house activities, charity events, and residential trips, to support with our pledge to develop young people’s learning within and beyond the classroom. 
  • Maintain a consistent dialogue with families ensuring that we work in partnership to allow our young people to flourish, be ready for life challenges and opportunities offered in the wider world.
