At The Hazeley Academy, in all our work, we aim to nurture ‘enterprising, lifelong learners’.Enterprising learners have three particular characteristics.

They are self-starters and are highly adept at working independently.
They can work well collaboratively in a team – showing both leadership & team-playing capacity – valuing others and the communities to which they belong.
They recognise the need to and strive to be experts in their own learning – setting themselves up for a lifetime of learning

To develop these characteristics, we aim to nurture the following learner profile in all our student – a profile that underpins the International Baccalaureate – our ‘gold standard’ offer at key stage 5
