At Tile Cross Academy we care deeply for our students; their safety and well-being is our primary concern. Within our small and caring 11-16 school we develop and nurture the values, skills and attributes which create good citizens and lifelong learners.
We aim to prepare our pupils to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing society, ready and willing to grasp the opportunities available to them. Tile Cross Academy is the ideal environment in which to stimulate the minds of the next generation.
It is a special place where both students and staff feel a real sense of belonging, with relationships at the heart of everything we do. With the wide range of backgrounds and cultures represented in our school community we believe that we offer an educational experience like no other in our area.
We celebrate diversity and difference, whilst acknowledging that we are all equal. We value everyone's opinions and beliefs, whilst also encouraging every single child to achieve their very best.
