Education With Character

The Shoreham Academy Experience Pledges

The SA pledge system is designed to enable students to develop character that supports their well-being through the accomplishment of incrementally ambitious pledges. These experiences are offered through extra-curricular enrichment, clubs, trips, and visits, including Experience Week. Students are rewarded for achieving these pledges at bronze, silver, or gold standards. Achievements contribute towards the Kingston Cup.

We are incredibly proud to deliver an Education with Character—an education that challenges, inspires, and excites our students, preparing them for the ups and downs of life. The core values that run through Shoreham Academy are integrity, hard work, and excellence. Whilst highlighting the importance of resilience, respect and kindness we encourage and support the growth of all positive values. Additionally, we provide the pledges so that students can develop the following characteristics:

We want to encourage all our students to be actively involved and seek out opportunities at Shoreham Academy in the SA Experience pledges to develop Education with Character while having lots of fun!

Students can demonstrate and develop these qualities in different ways. Our wider offer is underpinned by the Shoreham Academy charter.
