The Academy

Believe and Achieve

​

If children are encouraged to believe in themselves then anything is possible.
Small class sizes do increase student confidence. Confidence is the capacity to trust ourselves, others and the world despite uncertainty and the presence of challenge.

​

At the Academy we take the time to understand, engage and enthuse all of our students. We want to find out what makes each one tick. Smaller class sizes mean that a small hurdle for one student could actually be a big hurdle for another and we recognise and celebrate each individual success.

Small Classes

Curriculum

Our School

The Academy is a micro-school.

Many of us are asking how schools today can be more personalised. More human. Less institutional. Less one-size-fits-all. One answer is to create a micro-school where we foster a small, relationship-driven community of learners.

The learning relationships that matter most in a micro school model are those between the students. A smaller, relationship-driven school enables all humans (regardless of age) to be more human with one another—and to learn more from one another as we blend a range of year groups together for project work and presentations.

​​

The Academy is a school that cares about the developmental progression as well as the educational journey of each and every child. A school which pupils describe as 'one big family'. A family who loves to learn and work with your child on their way through the UK curriculum, creatively and successfully.
