About

As Headteacher, I am proud to serve our students, our families and our community and I am delighted to welcome you to Lakelands Academy. I am honoured to lead and work alongside a team of highly skilled and dedicated professionals who share in my passion for our students to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Together, we ensure that our school is constantly developing, evolving and improving. Collectively, we believe that education is much more than academic results; it is about embedding behaviour that is safe, smart, responsible and kind in order that our young people develop into well-rounded, confident individuals who are driven to make a positive contribution to society.

Our aim is to provide an outstanding educational experience for all our young people and to ensure they are prepared for further education and the world of work. We genuinely believe in every one of them and set the highest of standards with aspirational targets.

We are determined to deliver excellence in all we do, challenging and inspiring our students to achieve and to do this this with a smile on their face.
