Both Medlock and New Islington serve a vibrant and diverse community in the City Centre. They are places where differences are recognised and celebrated through the curriculum as well as through pastoral channels. Our children, families and staff are caring, respectful and responsible. We work in partnership with our families and community. At Medlock and New Islington we are passionate about providing every child with the skills they need for lifelong learning.

Our Values

• Self-help: We do not expect to be spoon fed – we will try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.
• Self-responsibility: Everyone should act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we want to become independent learners.
• Equality: We are proud to be part of a very multicultural academy, with students from all over the world; it is important that we treat each other with respect and accept that others may be different from ourselves. We should all of us have equal chances to succeed.
• Equity: We want to look for the best in each other. Rewarding others fairly to encourage all types of achievement.
• Democracy: We will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success.
• Solidarity: We can achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals.
