  It is the purpose of every member of our learning community to make Scalby school
Technology College a centre of excellence and a catalyst for social cohesion, self
esteem and constructive purpose within the wider community; a place that is always
seeking to improve; a place where everyone has a desire to learn, a belief in their
ability and the confidence to rise to challenges. It is our aim to enable students
of all ages to achieve progress consistent with that made by students in the top
five percent of schools nationally.
In our learning community everybody expects as
much of themselves as they do of others. We work with, learn from and support one
another. Learning, achievement and personal growth for all are optimised because
everyone shares the responsibility for reaching these goals.
The environment in
which learning takes place supports the way people learn. Our curriculum is exciting
and enjoyable. Our classrooms are inspirational places of interaction, dialogue,
exploration, creative endeavour, reflection and opportunity for everyone to learn
together as well as succeed independently.
Our community is a place where everyone
is encouraged and respected. This is important because self-esteem and a sense of
belonging have a profound influence on people’s capacity to learn.

our staff demonstrate high expectations of themselves; they are committed to their
own development and actively seek to model to students the behaviour that leads
to successful learning. Consequently, students respect and share the high expectations
staff have of them.
