David Livingstone Academy is committed to improving the life chances of all children. Where we can make a difference, we are morally bound to do so.
At David Livingstone, we have the highest academic expectations of our pupils. We develop their personal and academic conduct to promote high levels of self-esteem, self-control, self-discipline, and self-reliance.
We invest in their personal and cultural capital to ensure that they leave David Livingstone Academy with a range of experiences and knowledge that will enable them to engage academically, intellectually, and socially with all sections of society and have the potential to lead their communities.
At David Livingstone, part of STEP Academy Trust, we are proud of the education we offer our children and our many successes. We believe passionately that a great education is one of the most precious gifts a child can receive. With a committed and caring community of staff, parents/carers, and an active Local Governing Body, we work hard to provide a high-quality education for all our children in our exciting Academy.
At David Livingstone, we aim to:
- Embed the STEP compass through everything we do.
- Create a happy and committed workforce where children are placed at the heart of everything we do.
- Create a clean, bright, and inspiring learning environment for all.
- Personalize pupil's educational experience so that barriers to learning are removed and individual needs are met.
- Establish a no-excuses culture where excellence is not compromised.
- Create a shared language of active statements to promote success for all.
- Meet and exceed achievement and progress targets.
- Develop outstanding practitioners who can meet the needs of all their pupils through the use of assessment, reflection, excellent subject knowledge, confidence, trust, and support.
- Promote greater parent and wider community involvement.
- Provide a valuable curriculum that inspires children to learn.
- Provide a safe and supportive environment where all can thrive.
We also take pride in the Arts (drama, singing, and dance) that make our school an extra special place. We also have French lessons for all our pupils and provide specialist sports provision. Providing a rich and creative curriculum is something our school community is very proud of.
