Welcome to Essa Academy

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website,
very much a work in progress...

 

23rd July 2010 saw the end of the first full academic year as Essa Academy and what
a remarkable year it has been.

 

Our young people have continued to excel themselves at a breathtaking pace. This was commented upon by a recent visit by Her Majesty's Inspectors from OFSTED who said that they have rarely seen student progress improve at such a rapid rate. Our children's behaviour and attendance was described as good and our Academy as a harmonious and calm place to be.

 

Our staff have worked hard and well beyond the call of duty to provide the best possible educational experience for all our children with a truly personalised curriculum that prioritises the needs of the individual. Record numbers of after Academy hours activities have supplemented the already busy timetable to keep our children productively engaged.

 

The plans regarding the fantastic new building remain firmly on track to be fully completed by October 2011. The recent announcement by the Coalition Government around the Building Schools Programme do not impact our 
Academy and we regard ourselves as extremely fortunate to be able to 
secure such an outstanding resource for learning.

 

Last year, after 6 months as Essa Academy, we secured the best ever results moving from
28% 5 or more A* - C grades including English & Maths GCSE to 37% and 55% 5 or more
A* - C grades to 67%.

 

Through hard work, sheer determination and a belief that all will succeed, our students have smashed the record once again.

 

This year, I am pleased to announce that we have improved our results to:

52% 5 or more A* - C grades including English & Maths GCSE
and 99% 5 or more A* - C grades.

(See bottom of page for a link to view all the GCSE Results) 

As always, your children matter to us as much as your support for the Academy and are thankful for your efforts.

 

We are extremely proud of everything that has been achieved this year and look forward to another incredible year.

 

Next year will see further changes to make sure we remain at the top of everything we do and I know the best is yet to come.
