A Warm Welcome
From our Headteacher
Mr Richardson, Headteacher
I was appointed in June 2020 and I am delighted about what we have achieved over the last few years. In the summer exams in 2024 we have achieved our best ever Progress 8 score. This means children attending our Academy did better than students at other schools. Indeed, we were in the top 1/3 of all schools nationally. This is a wonderful achievement for our students. When Ofsted last visited us in May 2023, they judged us to be a 'good' school, where 'students wear their uniform with pride' (Ofsted, May 2023).

What do people say?
Staff work hard to help pupils become well-rounded young adults. Leaders set high expectations for what they want pupils to achieve and how they can broaden their horizons beyond the local area. Many pupils appreciate these opportunities and wear their school uniform with pride.”
Ofsted 2023
Leaders have put in place a systematic intervention programme, including for those pupils who need support with their phonics. This support is proving highly effective in helping pupils to catch up.
Ofsted 2023
Pupils benefit from many different wider opportunities. Several pupils take part in the Co-op Young Leaders programme and get involved with community activities, including supporting primary school pupils and local charity groups.
