Haywood Academy is a community like no other. Our commitment to our ARCH values bind us together in the belief that everyone who walks under the Arch at Haywood is able to achieve greatness. The ARCH values – Aspire, Respect, Community and Hard Work – sum up what we all believe it means to be a member of the Haywood community:
Aspire to be the best in everything that you do and seek improvement every day:
“I believe we are here to do good. It is the responsibility of every human being to aspire to do something worthwhile, to make the world a better place than the one we found.”
Albert Einstein
Respect those around you, your surroundings and yourself:
“Respect is a two-way street, if you want to get it, you’ve got to give it.”
R.G. Risch
Community plays a huge part in our academy life, not just within the Haywood grounds, but outside the gates too. The role that our young people play in an increasingly globalised society is central to everything that we do:
“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”
Mother Teresa
Hard work pays off. Our students put in the time and effort to reap the benefits of opportunities available to them at the academy:
“What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.”
Ralph Marsden
