Professional Habits at The Leigh UTC

At The Leigh UTC, we are committed to fostering an environment that prioritises personal development, mutual respect, and shared responsibility. Our core values are encapsulated in three professional habits that guide the behaviour and actions of our students and staff alike. These habits not only define our school culture but also serve as a framework for growth, collaboration and success.

Respect

Respect is the cornerstone of our learning community. We value every individual’s voice and contributions, ensuring that all members of our school feel heard, valued, and appreciated. Respect extends beyond the classroom, fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment where diversity is celebrated, and personal boundaries are upheld.

Relationships

Building strong relationships is fundamental to our success. At The Leigh UTC, we encourage genuine connections between students, staff, and the wider community. Through collaboration, mutual support, and open communication, we aim to create an environment where everyone feels supported in their learning journey and personal development.

A graphic with a solid grey background features a central white rectangular shape. Inside this white area, the word "RESPONSIBILITY" is prominently displayed in a bold, sans-serif white font, positioned below the smaller, white word "PERFORM" in a similar font style. The design is simple and emphasizes the concept of "RESPONSIBILITY".

Responsibility

Responsibility is at the heart of our ethos. We expect all members of our school to take ownership of their actions, both academically and personally. Students are encouraged to be proactive in their learning, to meet deadlines, and to contribute positively to the school environment. Staff lead by example, supporting students in understanding their role in the wider community and in preparing them to be responsible citizens.

A series of eleven grey silhouette figures are arranged horizontally against a white background. The figures appear to be adults of various heights and body types, dressed in what seems to be business or smart-casual attire. Some are standing with their arms at their sides, while others have different poses, such as hands on hips or one figure holding a phone to their ear. The silhouettes are evenly spaced, creating a sense of a group or a diverse collection of individuals.

Together, these professional habits help to shape a school culture that promotes respect, builds strong relationships, and nurtures a sense of responsibility in every individual. At The Leigh UTC, we are proud of the values that guide us and the positive impact they have on the lives of our students.
