Aims of Southfields Academy.

We aim to help our students to develop the following skills and qualities:

• High expectations of themselves and others
• Self-discipline
• Self-motivation
• Independent working
• Questioning and enquiring minds
• Application of knowledge
• Confidence
• Creative and aesthetic capability
• Scientific and technological capability
• Excellent communicators orally and through the written word
• Tolerance
• Sensitivity and respect for others
• Honesty and reliability
• Excellence in numeracy

Students at the Academy have these aims and values instilled in them from the outset of their career at Southfields through the TOPS curriculum taught to all Year 7 students for one period every day.


The overall aim of Southfields Academy is for students and staff to accept the challenges of learning so that students leave with the knowledge, skills and maturity to take up their adult roles.
