These are integral to everything we do, and when you visit one of our schools, you’ll see them come to life in every classroom and throughout the entire school environment.
Family is very important to our federation. Like every family, we want our young people to feel safe and secure. In our family, we care for each other and hope, dream, learn and play together. Each school has its own unique family feel, but we also want all stakeholders to recognise that they are part of the wider Embark family and to understand and enjoy the benefits this brings.
To us, integrity means ‘doing the right thing when nobody is watching’. Trust and respect are key values for us and are inherent in everything we do in our schools and as a federation. We expect everyone in our federation to maintain high standards in all that they do. Integrity involves being open, honest, and showing respect to each other.
We truly believe that we are stronger together, which is why we formed this federation. Sharing ideas and excellent practice, supporting our colleagues to overcome hurdles, and achieving greater things give us great satisfaction. Teamwork creates synergy, and we believe that when we work together, the effect is greater than the sum of our individual efforts. Being part of a team empowers everyone.
For us, success means every young person and member of staff fulfilling their potential. We do not place a ceiling on what can be achieved and strive for everyone in our federation to ‘be the best they can be.’ While academic success is important to us, we are also passionate about providing the best possible opportunities for the sports, arts and sciences, so young people can discover what makes them tick.
The Embark Award is central to this commitment. It embodies our dedication, offering a structured framework of 100 activities designed around our four core beliefs: Family, Integrity, Teamwork, and Success.
