Vision and Values
Our Vision
We have high expectations of our pupils and as such we offer a wide range of nationally accredited courses including GCSEs, Entry Levels, and Functional Skills in Maths and English (Edexcel, AQA, NCFE, and WJEC awards). In doing so, our learners achieve national qualifications at the end of a key stage.
Our Method of Learning is designed to help any young person of any ability progress to their maximum potential and become enthusiastic learners. Our model is based on the fact that every young person comes to us at different stages of their development. Hence, through a bespoke learning programme, students work at the ‘just-right’ level to buildability and fluency in small manageable steps. Students move up through a layered approach to learning which requires skilful planning and assessment at different stages only when comfortable with current work, ensuring they establish solid learning foundations (through assessments) and confidence in their ability.
We are committed to providing a broad and balanced curriculum for those pupils of compulsory school age. This is blended with opportunities for pupils to develop functional skills, independence skills and skills for working life as appropriate in line with the Independent Schools Curriculum core themes. Some subjects are taught discretely while others are covered via a creative curriculum approach.
Our Values
- Supporting and caring

At AYA College we Believe that:
- The individual pupil is at the centre of all that we do.
- Every pupil is an individual and is to be respected, valued, and nurtured.
- Every pupil has a ‘voice’ and that this voice should be listened to and encouraged.
- We must strive always to make learning successful and we can do this best through skillful teaching (having the highest possible expectations), a relevant, creative, exciting school curriculum (both in and out of lessons), supportive school structures, and by having a real partnership with families.
- We understand that excellent relationships are vital to this happening.
- We believe we need to develop the whole child and encourage confidence and self-esteem.
- We believe we need to recognise and celebrate everyone’s achievements.
