Orchards Church of England Academy

Our aim is to bring the best out of every pupil that attends Orchards C of E Academy Jesus told his followers that, Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Matthew 7:24 Orchards C of E Academy are building from the ground up: ensuring we get the children's education right from the very start, in our nursery. Our strong emphasis on the teaching of early reading, writing and maths will lay the solid foundations for every child.
