About the School:
Larkhall Academy is a large secondary school with a roll of just under 1200 pupils. We expect this number to increase significantly in the years ahead as a result of increased primary numbers and the ever-growing number of new houses in our catchment area. Our 9 associated primary schools are linked closely to us through a very strong transition programme and this results in a smooth path to secondary school for our young people.
We have recently consulted on our new school vision, values and aims. Our vision is 'To inspire and enable all our young people to flourish and fulfill their aspirations' and our school values are kindness, togetherness and resilience. We hope that you see these reflected in your interaction with the school.
We value our strong relationships with parents & carers and with our community and we aim to maintain open lines of communication to ensure that our young people are fully supported and that any issues raised can be dealt with promptly.
