The aims of Discovery Academy will be to:

• Inspire children to attend school and value their education in the same way that often comes naturally to children in other circumstances
• Improve behavioural and educational outcomes and life chances for children and young people
• Raise aspirations of children and families, matched by high staff aspirations for their pupils
• Ensure better transitions, destinations and opportunities after school
• Accelerate progress in literacy, numeracy as well as a broad and balanced curriculum
• Operate a school which is environmentally sustainable and financially secure
• Strengthen community cohesion by being a keystone within the local community

This will be achieved by:

• Recognising that high-quality leadership, teachers and support staff are the school’s principle asset - they will be supported, rewarded and motivated
• Offering a personalised learning programme which offers academic and vocational learning pathways, underpinned by a foundation of social and emotional awareness and skills development
• Embracing the role of parents and carers as integral to the school's life-blood and culture
• Working alongside Warwickshire County Council, staff and stakeholders to ensure that the Free School is successful in delivering their strategic aims
