We are an 11-18 academy based just north of the large, friendly, South Yorkshire town of Doncaster. With a strong focus on student success, we are relentless in ensuring students come first in every interaction. Since joining the Outwood Family, we have cultivated a welcoming and supportive environment, underpinned by our commitment to delivering the very best education for every child.
We have been a member of the Outwood Family since 2009, and in our 2023 Ofsted inspection the academy was graded Good in all categories. The inspection noted ‘the school has a supportive and caring culture. Staff build warm and friendly relationships with pupils. Pupils achieve their full potential. Staff are proud to work at the school’.
We offer a holistic education that makes learning stimulating, engaging and enjoyable for every student.
The inspectors were equally complimentary about our sixth form provision, with a wide range of courses on offer; including A Levels, vocational qualifications and T-levels.
We have also won numerous awards as a school and we have been accredited with the prestigious IQM Award, in addition to being an IQM Centre of Excellence for 3 years, which highlights that inclusion at all levels is of paramount importance to us. We are also proud to have been awarded Silver Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.
We work hard to ensure we reduce workload on staff, allowing more time in the classroom to put our vision of students first, raising standards and transforming lives into practice.
All academies within the Outwood Family have gained the IQM Inclusive Schools Award with 18 having Centre of Excellence status and one holding Flagship status.
