As an Academy we respect the rights of students, staff and parents/carers. We believe that everybody is entitled to receive the best education. Chestnut Grove Academy provides a ‘Creative Learning Community’ committed to ensuring that everyone develops through praise, encouragement, rigour and structure. Central to this is P.R.O.U.D which is the way we convey the Academy’s ethos to the students.

We approach learning with enthusiasm and value the contributions of others.

RESILIENT and independent

We embrace challenge and make the most of every learning opportunity.

OPEN-MINDED and creative

We explore opportunities to develop our identity and celebrate diversity.

UNIFIED and community focused

We respect the rights of all because together we achieve more.

DETERMINED and committed

We set ambitious goals and are committed to achieving them.

We expect everyone to follow the Chestnut Grove Code of Conduct as everyone has the right to learn, be treated fairly and to feel safe.

We expect every student and member of staff to follow the CHARTER based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, written by our students.
