Our mission and key drivers

Welcome to our website. I hope you find it informative and that it gives you an insight into our unique school and the fantastic students that our school serves.

Lift Kingswood is a school rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. We are also a school where, on average, our students make over a grade more progress, across all subjects, than other students do nationally; placing us as the highest performing schools in the region.

Vision:

To deliver world class learning, which places no limits on what young people can achieve and we are a national beacon of educational excellence in Hull.

Mission:

As a national beacon of educational excellence we will ensure that:

‍All students leave our school with first-rate qualifications: Qualifications that ensure all doors remain open, giving our students the platform to compete and thrive on a global stage.

‍All students develop exceptional character: Character that exemplifies a true growth mind-set; a phenomenal work ethic; confidence and high levels of grit, resilience and determination; ensuring they are fully prepared to flourish in an ever-changing world.

‍All students leave our school with high levels of cultural and global awareness: Awareness that develops through diverse experiences that enrich our students, enabling them to engage in, empathise with, challenge and debate current affairs beyond their local community.

‍All students leave with an array of positive memories that last for a lifetime: Memories that are created from students, staff and our community being fully invested in forging exceptional relationships based on trust, care, high expectations and a passion for genuinely making a difference in their life.

‍Ultimately our mission is to ensure that: ‘all students have an inner-belief and ambition to fulfil their dreams and live a happy and successful life.’ We are passionate about our students ‘recognising their academic worth’ and making sure that they are ‘prepared to make bold choices in order to secure places, and thrive, at the most reputable and highest performing colleges, universities and world-class employers.’

Key Drivers:

Underpinning our vision for educational excellence are our 6 key drivers:

These aspirational and inspirational core principles are central to everything that we do and were jointly created by students and staff to drive the academy forward. At Lift Kingswood, we live and breathe these key drivers with an unwavering passion and determination to ensure that our students receive the best education; we will not settle for anything but the best and will not rest until the academy is truly great in all areas.
