Our mission, values and learner attributes

Theale Green School is proud to be part of the Activate Learning Education Trust (ALET) group of schools and colleges, united with its vision of ‘Transforming Lives Through Learning’. We believe in the power of education to open doors for all young people. As such, our Teaching and Learning strategy is strong – and it works. We have a proud record of academic excellence, with many of our students achieving outstanding exam results. Almost two thirds stay with us in Sixth Form and go on to top universities or apprenticeships, but more importantly they leave with a sound belief in their self-worth.

We are proud be a ‘Well School’. This is a national initiative led by the Youth Sport Trust to prioritise wellbeing. We aim for every member of our school to know that they are valued as individuals and for them to thrive in an energised, confident and optimistic environment.

Our physical environment is ever-changing. We have invested in the refurbishment of many of our buildings over the last five years, and our students value their modern, accessible facilities. We are delighted that this year students have been able to access our brand new, state-of-the-art Fitness Zone both in PE lessons and after school. We are so proud to have again been awarded the prestigious ‘Youth Sports Trust Platinum Award’ – we are the only school in West Berkshire to win it this year and it’s unprecedented for it to be won three years in a row!

Students at Theale Green School enjoy a broad, balanced curriculum which lies at the heart of our students being well-rounded individuals. We have a well-established heritage of the Creative Arts and Sport, which continues to grow through enrichment opportunities such as Duke of Edinburgh, extra-curricular clubs, leadership programmes and self-development courses.

As well as academic learning, our students practise a range of ‘life skills’ through various experiences which prepare them for life after school, including connections with local businesses and employers.

Values and learner attributes

We ask our whole school community to embrace our values of Respect, Hard Work and Progress – these are the drivers for daily life at school, and our school behaviour and rewards system is built around these values. Additionally, we proactively teach our learning attributes of Professional, Aware, Enterprising, Resilient and Confident – the characteristics that top employers have told us they value the most in the workplace
