About

Our vision is to ensure every child receives the best possible opportunity to access education from their own starting point and that we then provide the highest quality academic and social skills opportunities in order to accelerate progress and prepare pupils ready for leaving us to go to Year 7.

We work rigorously to remove barriers and create the right conditions for learning. We are part of South Pennine Academies and we are committed to and strongly believe in the four Spa priorities Our academy motto, Adventures in Learning details the exciting journey we are all on as learners and what we want for every one of our children.

Having reflected upon our years since opening, we know our success is dependent upon the four trust priorities but in addition, the whole school community committing to three key values: We are excited about the journey that lies ahead, which will, together with you, see us to realise our vision.
