At King’s Academy Ringmer, we have a simple ambition: to offer the best all round education in Sussex. By this we mean that all our students will receive a better education at King’s Academy Ringmer than they would at any other local establishment. Our vision is clear:

‘To develop well rounded, confident individuals who are world ready’

We want King’s Academy Ringmer students to leave us with:

• Better qualifications than they would achieve in any other local school. We would like outcomes in 2027 to place us in the ‘Top 5%-10%’ of schools nationally.
• The skills and attributes needed to live and work in tomorrow’s global society and obtain the best jobs
• The values and morals to be good, outward facing citizens and well rounded characters.

We believe that great schools never stand still and strive at all times to excel in every area of

their performance, for the benefit of all our young people and other stakeholders. We aspire to achieve equality and equity for all students that we work with. In our common pursuit towards excellence for all, we believe that everyone in our community must be involved in our strategic forward planning.

From an honest self-evaluation of where we believe we are at the start of the academic year 2023-2024 and with a new Principal in role, we have devised together the following key priorities which will govern our short and medium term planning and will underpin our 3 year strategic planning through to 2026-2027, ensuring we are a high performing, inclusive and oversubscribed school of choice for the local community.

This document is intended to set the overall direction for the school for the next 3 years. It also outlines the King's Academy Ringmer ‘DNA’ and ‘Core Values’ that governors, staff and parents agree should be at the heart of how the school operates and develops.

The plan is in two layers: A three year plan from 2024-2027 (3 year plan), alongside our current School Improvement Plan (our yearly plan to achieve the longer term vision). The three year plan will inevitably develop over the next few years. King's Academy Ringmer’s vision reflects our ambition to be innovative, creative and have unapologetically high expectations of all our learners. This document is aimed to provide the strategic ‘intent’ for the next three years, with a clear outline as to how we will review our ‘impact’ each year. The Academy Improvement Plan will be updated each year to show the granular steps we are taking to achieve our goals.
