Your "Good Person" Attitude will either make or break your future.
- Your attitude in everything you do is the best indicator of your future success. This is our greatest consideration when offering a continuation with the Academy.
- Report of good "attitude" from your Vac School is one of the best ways to secure a happy future. We look for this in you during Vac School and report accordingly. We guide you in how we see tasks are well done. You develop your best at what we show you through practice.
- When you have achieved your Best, you are then qualified to suggest improvement in what we show you. This process, especially the way you suggest an improvement, reflects your attitude.
- Academy strongly supports participation in the International Youth Network Duke of Edinburgh Award. Start your award with Academy.
Our meaning of "attitude" is best summarised in the mantra:-
Good, Better, Best.
I will never rest,
Until my Good is Better
And my Better, Best.
