Our learners are at the heart of our school. A warm welcome to Cambridge Park Academy from myself, our governors and our staff team! I am incredibly proud to be the Principal here at CPA and It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our website - we hope it gives you a taste of what Cambridge Park Academy represents and a sense of the shared pride we have in our school.
Everything that we do is about ensuring that their school experience helps them develop both educationally and socially in a fun, engaging, caring and supportive environment. When learners leave Cambridge Park, we aim for them to have a range of educational, independence and self-help skills which will support them in progressing to the next stage of their lives.
