Our Vision, Ethos and Values

At Abbey Manor College, our vision is to give students Hope, Determination and Achievement.
Ultimately, we want students to become happy, fulfilled adults who achieve their full potential in life. We want them to have the courage to strive for their dreams, and if they come up short, the resilience to persevere.  We want them to take what they have learned at AMC, to forge ahead into the future.

Three Pathways to Success
Program participants grow and develop along three pathways, representing the journey they take through the curriculum. Abbey Manor College believes that all three pathways, Quality First Teaching, Behaviour for Learning and Emotional Wellbeing, are necessary contributors to developing students for the next phase of a fulfilled life. Students need to develop as members of groups - as members of a student body, as residents of a community and as citizens of the world.

Building a Strong Foundation
The foundation of all three pathways involves establishing a sense of Self Reflection, Accountability and Self Esteem. Once students have hope for the future, believing that they are important people deserving of success in life, we delve into deeper character cultivating determination to succeed both academically and personally.  Students are continuously encouraged to try new things and take healthy risks in order for them to embody a sense of achievement through the work we do at the College.

Long-Term Outcomes: The pathways are designed to build on knowledge, skills and qualifications that are fit for the 21st century skills setting students up for success with regards to next steps towards their chosen careers; higher education and successful relationships. Students will be equipped to make the right choices and become positive role models in their communities.  

AMC will have gone some way to realising its vision for students in breaking down barriers that marginalise them from achieving their goals for the future.
