Principal's Welcome Welcome to The Albion Academy. Our mission is to be a school community who celebrate inclusivity and aspirational learning. I am proud to lead this wonderful school, and I thank you for your interest in us. We are built around three core values respect, ambition and resilience.
These values underpin every aspect of our work at The Albion Academy and are seen daily in the habits of our children and staff. Outcomes for children here are strong, especially in the basics of English and Maths which underpin a quality education.
As part of United Learning, the most established Multi Academy Trust in the country, we are also continually well supported to provide the excellent education that the children of our local community deserve. Ofsted rated The Albion Academy Good in all areas in May 2023, but we are certainly not resting on our laurels.
We are ambitious for the future of The Albion Academy, currently oversubscribed and continually striving for excellence in our work, which is nothing less than the children here deserve.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
