Values

Unity

Integrity

Aspiration

At GEMS Wellington Academy – Silicon Oasis, our school values are at the heart of everything we do. Unity, Aspiration and Integrity shape our culture, guide our decisions, and inspire our students, staff, and families to make a positive difference within and beyond our community.

Why Our Values Matter

We believe that academic excellence must be underpinned by strong character and a shared moral purpose. Our values are not simply words on a wall – they are lived daily in our classrooms, assemblies, enrichment programmes, and community events. They help our students grow into compassionate, ambitious and principled individuals who are well-prepared to thrive in a global society.

Living Our Values at WSO

We are proud to be a values-led school, and this is seen in action across the Academy:

• Unity is nurtured through collaboration and inclusivity – from the sense of belonging we foster within our diverse student body, to shared experiences such as House events, buddy systems, and community celebrations like our Family First initiatives.
• Aspiration is embedded in our culture of high expectations, goal-setting, and continuous growth. Whether preparing for remarkable, West End–quality performances, representing the Academy in global competitions, or striving for excellence in their final academic outcomes, our students are consistently encouraged to dream big and persevere with purpose.
• Integrity is modelled through our behaviour expectations, leadership opportunities, and restorative approaches to conflict. Our students are taught to make the right choices even when no one is watching – taking responsibility for their actions and showing honesty in all they do.

A Values-Led Education

Our values are explicitly taught and reinforced through our curriculum, assemblies, student leadership roles, and house point system.

Whether it is resolving a playground disagreement with kindness, setting ambitious targets in an assignment, or raising funds for a local cause, our students live out our values each day – building a strong, united and principled school community.
