We are currently (2025) ranked as the number 1 school in MK and Buckinghamshire according to Snobe so no pressure there then! I think that at TPA we understand, more than most, that Rome wasn't built in a day and that upward trajectory is the most important indicator when looking for improvement, which is why we are always striving to be better.
The past is the past and unless you are completely inert, there really is no such thing as the present so the only thing that any of us really has any control over is the future, and the future workforce of this country blissfully mills around our corridors on a daily basis unaware that there are over a hundred onsite adults, plotting and planning about how to shape and maximise the potential of all their futures.
It would be arrogant of any of us to think that we know it all, which is why we regularly consult with others, including our parent and carer body, to make sure that we are all travelling in the same direction.

Governing body (13 current, 1 former)
iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.9 governors are linked to a profile (all confirmed).
