Alcester Academy is a community school serving the needs of young people in the area. At Alcester Academy we live by our Misson Statement, 'to be the best that we can be'. This is evident in the fact that for the past two years we have featured in the top 5% of schools nationally for the progress we achieve. Our headline maths and English figures continue to rise each year.
Results like these cannot be achieved without taking all of our students with us; something we achieve through excellent teaching and personalised support for each individual student. Students enjoy learning with us and feel academically and emotionally supported in every aspect of their schooling.
The school works hard to provide rich learning opportunities both in and out of the classroom in order to deliver a broad curriculum that prepares the children in our care for the wider world. Alcester Academy is proud to operate as a single academy trust, enabling clear leadership, strong accountability and a sharp focus on the needs of our students and community.
