Vision and Values
Fusing Education and the Arts
At MEPA Academy we are committed to delivering a diverse and high standard of education both academically and vocationally. We aim for the young people in our care to be prepared for life in an industry that can be competitive and fulfilling. We expect our pupils to be committed to all aspects of the education we offer and strive to be the best they can, at all times.
Staff offer many opportunities for the pupils to achieve through high quality teaching in all areas, as well as industry professionals that they can aspire to follow. The pupils are encouraged to be independent, creative, engaged, well-motivated and curious whilst trying activities that are out of their comfort zone and challenge.
Pupil welfare is at the heart of MEPA Academy. Through our nurturing and caring environment, we believe that we can encourage pupils to have a healthy mind which will enable the pupils to achieve the best they can. We encourage all of MEPA, including staff as positive role models, to be respectful, kind and polite and ensure that we all understand that everyone has the right to learn, make progress and achieve.
Our Values
Dream
Believe
Achieve
These values underpin the life of MEPA Academy and are constantly referred to by all of the MEPA community. Our values at MEPA Academy are DREAM, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE.
Dream
All success stories start with a dream, the aspiration and ambition to succeed. A dream can shape our life choices and lead down our own paths. We encourage our students to dream of the future and what their stories may be.
Believe
We all have to believe in ourselves and each other. Taking our dreams and believing in them is the next step to achieving. When we believe, we realise the importance of what we are aiming to achieve and we take the steps, seek the resources, and help in order to achieve.
Achieve
We encourage our students to be determined and motivated to take their dreams, believe in them and take the next steps to achieve. Through determination and the belief that we can, even when we get knocked down, we get back up and we can achieve!
Our MEPA Mantra then creates our values underpinning elements. To embody our values, our students have mindfulness and respect, they are enthusiastic and creative, they make progress, raise attainment and they aim high.

Aiming High
We develop our students to be whole, well-rounded individuals who are mindful and respectful of all, enthusiastic and creative about performing arts, make progress and attainment in all areas and are always aiming high.
