This is encapsulated in our Academy Motto: ‘Sic Itur Ad Astra’ – Thus one journeys to the stars. At Pioneers we set the highest standards for our pupils in terms of both their academic progress and their conduct. Our Academy is centred around our ‘R.E.A.C.H.’ Values: Resilience – We keep trying, even when things are tough Excellence – We strive for excellence in all we do Ambition – We are ambitious for ourselves and those around us Care – We are caring and compassionate to each other Honesty – We are honest in what we say and what we do Apart from home, school is the single most important place in the lives of most children.
