Professionalism

As a 21st century educator, we realise that Post 16 learning does not stop at the classroom door, or end when the exam is over. We aim to equip our students with all of the skills you will need to succeed throughout your lives.

Responsibility

We expect that you will take responsibility for your own education and through this develop a love of learning which will extend beyond your time with us. This quality will be key for you as you take your next steps into the world of work or further study.

Independence

At Meden, we know that the most successful Post 16 students are those whose education continues when the bell rings for the end of the lesson. We invest in high quality academic monitoring for all our students in order to make the transition from Key Stage 4 to Key Stage 5 as successful as possible.

Determination

Our students are set challenging and aspirational targets as we believe that the education we provide is second to none within the north Nottinghamshire area. We want our students to face challenges with resilience and learn lessons you will take with you at 18.

Enterprise

The world our students will enter at 18 or 21 will look entirely unlike anything today, so it is key that you can act on your feet, adapt and think outside the box. We want your time at Meden to equip you with a wide portfolio of skills so that you can tackle everything life throws at you.
