Ethos and Values
The college has consulted with staff, students, and governors to produce a set of college values.
These will be followed by all members of the college community and will be used to inform all areas of college life. It was very pleasing how much agreement there was between all those consulted on what were the values of the school.
The College
Moat Community College provides a caring and supportive environment. We treat everyone as individuals and plan carefully to support them to achieve their potential academically and in all other areas. We aim to create and take advantage of all opportunities. We develop students intellectually, physically, morally, spiritually and socially. We provide an excellent and inclusive academic education, enabling all students to develop their abilities as fully as possible.
We will continue to develop a curriculum and an environment which will develop our students love of learning, thirst for knowledge and an excitement about their future potential.
Our Students
We support our students to become confident, kind, hard working, tolerant and positive individuals.
Moat embraces the British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and the tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs. With different cultural, geographical and faith backgrounds our students and staff are able to work together harmoniously, productively and positively.
We want our students to recognise the central importance of their education in their lives and work hard to achieve as much as they possibly can.
We also want them to recognise the responsibility they have to others and the community. We will do this by giving them the opportunity to develop leadership skills and be involved in charitable work in the school.
When the time comes for our students to leave Moat we want them to be fully prepared for the next stage of their education. We want them to leave us and achieve great things!
