Our goal is for The Ebbsfleet Academy to surpass all other local schools as the community's first option.
Our ideal school would be one where all of the challenges and drawbacks of the outside world were left at the school gate.
I think that regardless of their postcode, all students can succeed and that upbringing does not dictate one's fate.
I think it's important to nurture and educate our students so they grow up to be well-rounded young adults who are courteous, well-mannered, and interested in the world around them, including the arts, culture, travel, and politics.
I think that a good education should give students the tools they need for the rest of their lives and the real world.
Our academy is focused on raising expectations for all students, ensuring that the highest standards, a uniform approach, and exceptional teaching and learning are the norm for everyone.
We promote a secure, quiet, and organised environment where learning is the main priority and demand that everyone behaves to the highest standards, including how they dress.
We want our students to look forward to going to school because it is a place with a strong current of care, encouragement, and reward in addition to a structured atmosphere.
The five academy principles of respect, resiliency, integrity, independence, and confidence guide everything we do.
Our goal is to instil in our students a strong culture of success-oriented aspiration and achievement.
