From the School

We are committed to excellence. We believe in choice.

  • Our mission is to make sure that all children, regardless of their background, receive a great education that lead to real choices in life.
  • Our staff are committed to our pupils and students and know the importance of delivering an exceptional standard of education.
  • Our pupils and students value learning, they are committed to their studies and always give
    their best.

We expect every John Wallis student to graduate from our Academy with the qualifications, skills and confidence to achieve their ambitions and go on to higher education or their chosen career.

Our Distinctive Christian Vision

We are a proud to be a Church of England Academy. We serve children of all faiths and those with none.

Our Christian values are embedded within the heart and soul of our Academy. They are central to everything we do. Based on the teachings of Jesus, and the stories he told, our school community follow his example in treating everybody as an individual. Our Bible verse provides a living example for how we choose to live our lives. “We show love and compassion for others by truly helping them, and not merely talking about it.” In judging others by their deeds, not their words. In being, rather than seeming. Jesus said “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

Our Christian values of Love, Integrity, Generosity, Hope and Tolerance (LIGHT) are all taught explicitly. They are a vehicle for delivering our school vision and provide a framework for how we strive to behave each day. We do not simply talk about it; we take actions to make things better for others.
