Welcome to Q3 Academy Great Barr!

Our educational philosophy is simple.  First and foremost, we want every child to feel happy and excited about coming to the Academy. Only when each child feels secure and comfortable can we challenge them to grow and learn together.

We want our students to return home telling their families of the memorable exciting learning experiences they have enjoyed. Experiences that make it easier to recall the detail necessary for exam success and experiences that develop their character as much as their academic potential.

Our passion is helping young people to flourish and become confident, capable adults ready for the world ahead.

This passion creates a genuine warmth that supports every member of our community. Our traditional family values and Academy ethos, ‘life to the full in pursuit of what is good, right, and true’ helps to keep the academic and well-being of every child sharply in focus and drives our ambition for continual improvement.

Only if our staff can say that what we provide is good enough for their own children is it good enough for yours and I’m proud to say this commitment to care, coupled with high academic ambition is helping all our young people to succeed.

CARE Values

We are proud to be a vibrant, inclusive community where every member is valued, and every student is empowered to thrive. At the heart of our Academy lies a clear and compelling mission: to be the most inclusive, best-performing school in our local area. This ambition is not just a statement – it is a daily commitment that shapes our culture, our curriculum, and our relationships.

 

 

We live this mission through our core values of CARE:

Community – We are stronger together. We foster a sense of belonging where every voice is heard and every individual is respected.

Ambition – We set high expectations for ourselves and our students, striving for excellence in all that we do.

Respect – We treat one another with dignity and kindness, creating a culture of mutual trust and understanding.

Excellence – We pursue the highest standards in teaching, learning, and leadership, always seeking to improve and innovate.

These values are not just words – they are the principles that guide our decisions, shape our relationships, and define our culture.
