Welcome to Essa Academy

 A Message from Mr Badat

The transformation process has started at a pace and we are beginning to improve our resources in existing buildings, for both students and staff,
which will have a direct impact on teaching and learning.

We are already in the process of selecting contractors to construct our brand new state-of-the-art building, due to be completed in September 2011. 
High quality resources and buildings are very important when it comes to raising standards, but success depends on what our children actually do and learn. 
From September 2009 we are introducing a curriculum that will give students more choice but will be much more demanding.

Students will be starting their GCSEs early and will take their examinations when they are ready.  In some cases that will be at the end of Year 9,
many at the end of Year 10 and all by the end of their final
year at the Academy.

Many of you, together with visitors from far and wide have commented on the happy, secure, productive and positive atmosphere that permeates
throughout the whole Academy.  There is a real 'buzz' around the site,
a sense that anything is possible.
