At Cherry Tree Academy, we believe that education is about far more than academic achievement alone. It is about nurturing confidence, resilience, communication and emotional wellbeing, ensuring that every child feels safe, valued and supported.
Our inclusive ethos is underpinned by our commitment to the Thrive Approach, which supports children's emotional development and helps them to build positive relationships and a strong sense of self. Our dedicated and compassionate staff team works collaboratively to deliver a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum that inspires curiosity and a love of learning.
We are proud to offer a specialist Speech and Language Provision, enabling us to meet a wide range of needs and ensure that all pupils are supported to communicate effectively and reach their full potential. Alongside high expectations for learning, we place great importance on personal development, behaviour and wellbeing.
We aim to nurture confident, reflective learners who are well prepared for the next stage of their education and equipped with the skills, values and attitudes needed for life beyond primary school.
