At Da Vinci Academy, we aim to nurture the pupils in our care and help them achieve their full potential through pastoral support provided through our Achievement Team. The Achievement Team is made up of an Assistant Achievement Leader for each year group and an Achievement Leader for the following year groups:
In addition to the student’s tutor, the team work tirelessly to support the learning and ultimate progress of every student.
Every student is also placed in one of four houses:
Assemblies take place on a weekly basis and students take part in numerous activities where they can achieve A-points for their house. Healthy competition, leadership skills and team building skills are nurtured throughout the house system. Each house also takes part in regular competitions and, at the end of the academy year, one house is crowned overall winner.
The tutor programme aims to develop a culture of kindness through our character sessions and clear post 16 pathways are development through our culture (CEIAG) programme. Students develop key knowledge and understanding with their tutor surrounding news events, organisation and responsibility through our 3 R’s Ready, Respectful and Responsible.
