At The Sutton Academy, we are resolute in our belief that schools make a difference.  Lives, and the communities they serve, are transformed by them. Every child deserves the right to a world-class education; it is our core purpose to raise aspirations and improve outcomes for all.  By creating a culture of the highest expectations, every student at The Sutton Academy is successful.

Our work at the academy is underpinned by our desire for:

• Students to achieve to the best of their ability through an ethos of high standards
• Parents to send their children to the academy knowing they will be successful, cared for and enthused
• Staff to be challenged and supported to develop to their full potential to make a difference every day

We want our students to fulfil their aspirations and make a positive contribution to society. Our role as educators is to ensure the students leave us with:

• Powerful knowledge, vocabulary and a wealth of cultural capital
• Qualifications which enable them to take control of the next stages of their life
• The four core academy virtues: kind, reflective, resilient and part of a community.

The Sutton Academy is driven to provide:

• A culture where every child is cared for and encouraged to grow
• The highest standards of behaviour and mutual respect
• A knowledge-rich curriculum 
• Highly effective evidence informed teaching 
• A strong partnership with both parents/carers and students 
• The best enrichment opportunities
• Staff who feel privileged to serve our community
