Pledges

We have an uncompromising commitment to ensure that every child achieves their potential at The Martin Bacon Academy. Our individualised curriculum has been carefully designed to secure the best possible outcomes for our pupils.

In all Meridian Trust schools the trust has developed and invested in a simple but broad set of Academy PLEDGES that students are expected to complete during the course of their time at the academy. At The Martin Bacon Academy we have developed and invested in a simple but broad set of Academy Pledges that students are expected to complete during the course of their time at the school, like the curriculum, will be tailored to each pupils interests. Pupils who have siblings who attend another Meridian Trust school will be able to share their pledges success in the same way with equal reward.

PLEDGES is an awards system which offers students a range of opportunities that enhance their learning and development. It is an expectation of every pupil to complete their PLEDGES during their time at the academy.

The PLEDGES system aims to encourage and support many important qualities in students, such as responsibility, leadership, and citizenship, all of which are crucial for ensuring pupils are ready for the next stage in their education, training or employment and have brighter futures.

PLEDGES will be monitored by class teachers, who will record them using Evidence for Learning and include them in termly monitoring reports.
