Mission, Vision and Values

The Principal and senior leaders of Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy have set out their mission:

                     Working with our community,

                     and building on the best evidence and research, 

                     the mission of Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy is to 

                     provide inclusive education that transforms lives, 

                     so that together we grow, learn and succeed.

Our mission is unashamedly ambitious – we are here to transform people’s lives through education! This refers to all our students, and also to all our staff.

Through transforming the lives of our students and staff, we also make a positive difference to the life of our community. We believe that we are strongest when we work together, and that through excellent pastoral care and inspiring teaching, children will be able to grow and learn. Success comes in many different forms, and is important in all aspects of school life, including examinations.

Our vision – that together we grow, learn and succeed – is underpinned by our values: trust and respect, courage and ambition. By showing respect for each other, we learn to trust and be trusted. We show courage in tackling new and complex tasks. We are ambitious for ourselves, and we encourage one another to set and meet ambitious goals.
