Vision & Values
The Flegg Values
At Flegg High Ormiston Academy, our vision is to provide a world-class education that empowers every student to thrive — academically, personally and socially.
We are proud to be an academy where students are encouraged to Aspire, Create and Innovate — values that guide everything we do and reflect the ambitious, supportive and forward-thinking culture we are building together.
Aspire
We set high expectations for every member of our community. To aspire at Flegg means striving for excellence — in the classroom, in conduct, and in character. Our students are challenged through a rigorous, knowledge-rich curriculum, supported by passionate teachers and tailored intervention. We celebrate academic success, personal growth and the determination to always aim higher.
Examples in action:
- A carefully planned curriculum that builds knowledge and ambition over time
- Opportunities to stretch, support and celebrate every learner
- Regular rewards and recognition for students who go above and beyond
Create
We believe creativity lies at the heart of learning and growth. We encourage students to create ideas, solutions and experiences that reflect their individuality and drive. This includes creative expression in the arts, innovation in STEM, problem-solving in real-world contexts, and leadership in the school and wider community.
Examples in action:
- Enrichment clubs that provide students the opportunity to flourish
- Student-led events, displays and performances
- Cross-curricular projects that challenge students to think creatively and collaboratively
Innovate
Innovation at Flegg means thinking differently, asking questions, and shaping the future with curiosity and confidence. We prepare students not just to succeed in exams, but to thrive in a fast-changing world — building the skills, mindset and resilience to lead their own learning journey.
Examples in action:
- Opportunities to explore innovative and exciting learning
- Digital tools integrated across teaching and learning
- A culture of continuous improvement — from staff development to student feedback
A Culture of Kindness, Aspiration and Respect
Underpinning all of this is a school culture built on Kindness, Aspiration and Respect. These values define how we treat one another, how we engage in our learning, and how we grow as individuals. Our classrooms are calm and purposeful. Our students are polite and proud of their school. Our relationships are based on mutual respect and shared goals.
Together, our vision is not just about what happens today — it’s about preparing our students for a life of opportunity, purpose and success.
At Flegg, we don’t just aim for improvement — we aim for excellence, every day.
