We are an 11-18 academy, based in the Historic Market Town of Hemsworth near the Cathedral City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, with a curriculum designed to stretch and enrich our students’ experience. Our relentless focus on learning ensures everyone has the right to learn.
Part of the Outwood Family since 2018, we are a welcoming and supportive academy, with a relentless determination to provide the very best education for every child. With a holistic view of education, we aim to create a safe and secure learning community that encourages healthy and sustainable lifestyles and empowers students to pursue career pathways they will find stimulating and deeply rewarding.
We are proud to have been awarded Gold 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.
Our Science department is a vibrant mix of specialisms and experience; a place where everyone is supported to grow and thrive at all career stages. Our team includes a Head of Department, Second in Department, an Aspiring Leader in Science, 6 teachers and 2 one-to-one tutors. We are fortunate to be supported by 2 incredible Science technicians who are on hand to reinforce teaching and learning by bringing practical Science to life.
Every teacher has a fully equipped lab to teach from that they can make their own and our schemes of work are fully resourced so teachers can focus on adapting their teaching to the needs of their students. We work hard to be inclusive and truly believe that all students are capable of succeeding.
