About us
We believe that through clarity of vision, collaboration and dedication, we can achieve great things for our young people and for the staff who join us on our journey. Our vision is simple, yet unashamedly ambitious:

Excerpts from our pleasing 2022 Ofsted inspection include:
● Students told inspectors that the clear and fair behaviour system helps them to behave well.
● Relationships between staff and students are strong.
● Students’ conduct around the academy is orderly and calm.
● Pastoral care puts the child at the heart of everything the academy does.
We take an evidence-informed approach to the academy improvement, only implementing what we feel will make the biggest difference to the lives and outcomes of our young people, being mindful of staff workload and well-being.
