I am delighted to welcome you to the Cecil Jones Academy website. As part of the Loxford School Trust, we are able to work within a hub of schools, led by Loxford School, an Outstanding school, thus ensuring that our staff are able to deliver the highest educational standards. This enables us to stay ahead of an ever-evolving education system and a constantly changing society.
The Trust strongly believes in developing students, so that they are able to achieve their potential both academically and as members of our community. We work on the traditional values of respect, discipline, and responsibility to prepare our students for the challenges of examinations, social interactions, and the world of work.
We want all of our students to find their passion and have the tools to pursue their dreams. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to lead Cecil Jones Academy over the coming years and look forward to working with you to ensure we achieve the very best for all of our young people. Our vision is simple, that no child is left behind .
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
