Vision and Values
Vision
Our vision at Aston is to see all students thrive at school, as they become articulate, well-rounded global citizens who embody our core values.
Values
Kindness
Kindness is the genuine and compassionate concern for others. It involves thoughtful actions, words, and gestures that demonstrate empathy, generosity, and a desire to make a positive impact. Kindness fosters a supportive and harmonious environment, where individuals uplift and care for one another without expecting anything in return. It is a fundamental quality that contributes to building strong relationships and creating a better world for everyone.
Integrity
Integrity is the quality of having strong moral principles. It involves a consistent and uncompromising adherence to these ethical values. When someone possesses integrity, they act with earnestness and demonstrate soundness of moral character. In essence, integrity is the unwavering commitment to doing what is right, even when faced with challenges or temptations.
Honesty
Honesty entails upholding trustworthiness in both personal and academic conduct, fostering an environment of openness, credibility, and accountability within the school community. Teachers are honest with students about their progress and always seek to point out potential areas for development. In return, students are expected to be honest about their feelings. In this way, a climate of honesty leads to a culture of care where students feel safe, well and nurtured.
Diligence
The core value of diligence can be defined as the steadfast and persistent effort towards achieving goals or completing tasks with careful attention to detail and thoroughness. It involves a consistent commitment to hard work, perseverance, and dedication in all endeavours, regardless of obstacles or challenges that may arise. Diligence is characterised by a strong work ethic, discipline, and a willingness to exert continuous effort to ensure success and excellence in one's pursuits.
Mission
To deliver educational excellence, enabling our students, staff and partners to thrive.
