We have close working relationships with local schools which enable our students to form relationships and links with other children and young people around them. Established partnerships with post 16 education and vocational learning providers help to prepare our students for adulthood.
We value our close partnership with parents and carers and we actively seek to realise the hopes and aspirations they have for their children and young people. Each academy has its own website which I would encourage you to visit where you will hear more from the Principals about what they do and what their students achieve.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
