Ethos and values
At Barclay Academy, we believe that education has the power to transform lives. Our motto, libertas per cultum (Freedom through Education), reflects our commitment to giving every student the knowledge, confidence and character to shape their own future.
We are a welcoming and inclusive community where every young person is valued and encouraged to achieve their best. Our school values of Work Hard, Aim High and Be Respectful guide how we learn, how we behave and how we treat one another.
As part of Future Academies, we benefit from a shared commitment to academic ambition, high-quality teaching and strong pastoral care. This is brought to life at Barclay through a knowledge-rich curriculum, expert teaching and a calm, purposeful environment where students feel safe, supported and ready to learn.
Students experience a wide range of cultural and enrichment opportunities that help them develop new interests, broaden their horizons and grow in independence and confidence.
Everything we do at Barclay Academy is designed to support every student to achieve their best. By providing a secure, ambitious and supportive environment, we help our young people build the foundations for a future filled with opportunity and choice.
