Our academy enables pupils to

Experience the joy of discovery
Build dreams
Be filled with awe and wonder
Develop self confidence and self belief

Our vision is focused on ensuring that we prepare our pupils for the next significant stage in their lives, whatever that might be. It identifies what they will achieve and how we will make sure that happens. Mary Rose Academy puts the pupils at the very core of all that we do. When we make a decision the first question we will ask is: "How will our pupils benefit?" In creating our vision we asked 3 questions:

What will you see?
What will you hear?
What will you hear said about our academy?

The pupil of the future leaving school will:

Have gained independent thinking and learning skills that can be transferred to adult life
Be able to communicate with a wide range of people
Have increasing control and influence over their own lives
Enjoy learning in the school environment and beyond
Have reached appropriate levels of functioning in the core skills
Have a range of nationally recognised qualifications
Feel confident and self-assured

Be aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and be able to make healthy choices
Support the values of the school and the local community
