The Alpha Plus Gold Standard

Alpha Plus, owned by Delancey, creates centres of educational excellence in our schools and colleges, which consistently exceed the expectations of pupils and parents.

The 'Alpha Plus Gold Standard' signifies our commitment to maintaining the very highest standards in each of our schools, colleges and consultancy services. The traditional values that have guided the group to its success during the last seventy years continue to be at the heart of our philosophy but are enhanced by the very best practices in modern education. The specific needs of individual students and pupils always remain our highest priority.

We choose leaders who can excel in building education communities that value every member. Our highest standards of learning and teaching are delivered by exceptional staff, fully experienced in contemporary techniques. They have a holistic view of life, and understand the needs of the child.

We resource our schools and colleges with cutting edge technology so that every pupil can reach their maximum potential. We seek continually to add value to our curricula ensuring that we maximise first choice placements into destination schools and colleges and cherish our enviable reputation for nurturing our pupils.

Continued out-performance in external inspections, where we are recognised as 'outstanding', supports our reputation for educating to the highest standards whilst giving our children the confidence to pursue their dreams.

We are committed to maintaining and further improving this level of quality, our Gold Standard.

To sum up:

• Alpha Plus has the highest aspirations for every pupil and student
• Alpha Plus has outstanding leadership within its schools and colleges. When delivering the highest quality professional development, we aim to anticipate pupils' future needs and celebrate success
• We measure our learning and teaching against absolute quality, highest expectations, and shared values. This is the top priority on every agenda. We use quantified data to evaluate academic performance and inform future plans
• Our high quality buildings, strategically located, provide the best physical environments. They are frequently monitored, adapted and upgraded as appropriate, to ensure they are resourced to an excellent standard
