Our founder, Sant Baba Amar Singh Ji believes that education is a human right for children, a route out of poverty. He has accordingly translated this vision into reality by establishing 19 schools worldwide, including the UK-based Academy, Guru Nanak Sikh Academy. The Academy Trust has an exceptional proven track record of establishing successful schools, Guru Nanak Sikh Academy and Guru Nanak Sikh Primary, (now merged into one all through Academy).
We seek to provide a happy and outward–looking school, within which all the pupils work hard to realize their full potential, intellectually, morally, physically, personally, and socially and in which the Sikh religion is fostered.
Our Aims is:
- To build a strong community based on the Sikh religion.
- To provide a quality education that is broad, balanced, and relevant to the needs of pupils within a modern society.
- To enable all pupils to achieve their potential through the highest standards of teaching and learning.
- To develop each pupil’s self-esteem, confidence, and independence with consideration for others and the concept of Sewa.
- To strengthen bonds between home, community, and school, providing a preparation for each pupil’s entry into the wider community.
- To be committed to encouraging every member of our community to invest in life-long learning and personal development.
The values of the Multi Academies Trust are encapsulated by the S.H.A.R.E acronym. These values are at the heart of everything we do as a school and they describe the qualities our students and staff value most- Service to others, Humility, Achievement, Respect, and Equality.
Our academy is a Sikh Faith school with Academy status. Sant Baba Amar Singh Ji is our Founder and Spiritual Leader.
Religious education is provided following the Sikh faith as specified in the academy’s trust deed. We aim to give pupils knowledge and understanding of religious beliefs and practices so that they may continue in their own belief whilst at the same time respecting those of other people. All pupils are taught a weekly lesson on Sikh studies which includes religious education. Assemblies play an important part in developing the ethos and community spirit within the school. They are broadly Sikh (recitation of Japji Sahib, Shabads, Ardas, and Hukamnama), but include stories and messages from a wide range of cultures, religions, and faiths.
We have a clear vision for our school which unites staff, governors, families, and children. We share a determination that all children will achieve the very best that they can and go on to become life-long learners. We believe in the importance of supporting and challenging children to achieve academically, whilst also caring about their development as kind, polite and respectful members of our community. Our overall aim is that our pupils leave us as confident, enthusiastic learners prepared for their next stage in education.
