Our Expectations

At Leigh Academy Tonbridge it is our steadfast purpose to challenge and defy the barriers that constrain the educational progress of any child. We set high aims for aspiration and secure collective responsibility for all our children’s achievements. Our work is underpinned by a small school model that is strengthened by our core values:

Integrity    |    Courage    |    Imagination

Aim

Leigh Academy Tonbridge aims to have outstanding behaviour for learning in every lesson, outstanding conduct  on the school grounds, to and from school and on all school based activities. This aim is achieved through  disruption free learning so that all students are given the best opportunity to achieve their potential. Lessons will be disruption free allowing teachers to teach and students to learn. 

The highest expectations for ourselves and others. These are underpinned by our eight star behaviours.

To ensure a positive learning environment where engagement and achievement is maximised, students are  expected to follow these three encompassing rules: 

• To follow all instructions of the teacher immediately  
• To produce their best work at all times 
• To support the learning of everyone in the class.
