At King’s Academy Ringmer, our vision is to nurture and ‘develop well-rounded, confident individuals who are world ready’. We believe that being "world-ready" is not just about academic success but also about developing the personal, social, and emotional skills needed to navigate life's challenges. Our school environment encourages students to explore their strengths, grow from experiences, and build a sense of self-worth, ensuring they are not only prepared for future careers but also for fulfilling lives as compassionate, engaged citizens. This holistic approach underpins everything we do—from our curriculum to extracurricular activities—fostering an atmosphere where every student feels supported to thrive.
Our core values of Kindness, Ambition, and Resilience guide the way we teach and inspire our students. We believe in the power of kindness to create a compassionate community where everyone feels valued. At our school, the minimum expectation is that we are polite to each other. Ambition pushes our students to aim high, set goals, and strive for excellence in everything they do, while resilience equips them to bounce back from setbacks and persevere through challenges. Through our diverse curriculum and the wide range of opportunities on offer, we actively create an environment where students can cultivate these values. Whether through academic work, sport, the arts, or community engagement, our students learn to embody kindness, pursue their ambitions, and develop the resilience needed to succeed both in and beyond school.
Our Code of Conduct, which is centred around being Ready, Respectful, and Safe, further reinforces our commitment to building a positive learning environment. Being "Ready" means that students come to school prepared and eager to learn, with a mindset open to growth. "Respectful" emphasises the importance of showing consideration for others, understanding different perspectives, and treating all members of the community with dignity. Finally, being "Safe" means making responsible choices to protect the well-being of oneself and others. We believe that positive behaviour can and should be explicitly taught, and our school provides clear expectations and consistent guidance to help students understand the importance of these principles in their daily lives.
