Ethos

Welcome to The Priory Pembroke Academy.

We are delighted to introduce you to Pembroke, an exciting and growing 11-16 Academy. We are part of The Priory Federation of Academies Trust based in the city of Lincoln. Pembroke provides a stimulating and supportive environment where everybody is able to achieve their best. Pembroke Academy is a family. Like any family we care for, support and motivate each other, and share a common desire to be there for one another. Our Motto is “Achieving Together”. The happy and calm atmosphere radiates to every corner of our academy. The students thrive under the direction of dedicated and excellent teaching and support staff, whilst also benefiting from the high quality teaching and sports facilities. Our curriculum offers students a chance to succeed academically as well as enjoying an enriching programme of extracurricular events. We believe the journey from Year 7 to Year 11 is exciting and rewarding. A Pembroke Academy student will strive to work hard and will exhibit our values at all times. We truly believe this. The Pembroke values are Curiosity, Wisdom, Courage, Passion and Generosity. I would encourage you to look at our website and social media pages. This will give you a picture of the day to day life at Pembroke. I would also encourage you to come and see our Academy and experience the enthusiasm and vibrancy that we generate every day.

The Priory Federation

The Trust has an overarching ethos that is articulated through: a Mission; a Motto; a set of Values; and a Contract. There is, therefore, an open, conscious and emotional ‘buy-in’ to the Trust from its Academies.

The Trust's Mission

To improve the life chances of our pupils so they become true citizens of the world.

The Trust's Motto

sic itur ad astra

‘by the good deeds you do, you will be remembered in the stars for eternity’
