Welcome from the Principal
Thank you for taking the opportunity to visit our website which I hope you will find to be interesting and informative in
equal measure.
"I feel extremely privileged and lucky to be the Principal of such a remarkable school."
Our national and international reputation for innovation, forward thinking and high standards has led us to provide
exceptional opportunities for all our young people.
I passionately believe that high quality learning is not only a route to academic success but a human right leading
to a moral purpose for a greater good.
Our aim is to foster the kind of qualities in all students that will help shape the world to be a better place for all.
The future is in the hands of the next generation and I'm confident that our community of students will do us proud.
We currently have a rising roll of well over 860 students aged 11- 16 and we expect to exceed our capacity of
900 by April 2014 and will become oversubscribed in all year groups.
Once again we have seen a rapid rise in standards with results reaching remarkable levels. In August 2013,
we hit outstanding GCSE results once again with 98% of our year 11 students achieving
5 or more A*- C grades.
Nationally, GCSE results have declined as grade restrictions imposed by the Government Regulator
attempted to maintain standards by increasing the marks required to achieve higher grades from
previous years.
Despite this Essa Academy has bucked the trend and increased its results. This is a remarkable situation.
Taken together with 55% 5 or more A* - C grades including English & Maths and 23% achieving the English
Baccalaureate not only ranks us in the top few of all similar schools in the country but it gives every young
person an opportunity to go forward into Further Education & Training.
Our approach is simple and some say unique; we remove any barriers to learning for every child.
We do whatever it takes using radical new learning environments where students are given the
power, confidence and freedom to learn and be creative according to their individual
needs and potential.
We provide for each student a window on the world and ability to access information at any time.
We support and deepen the learning process not only in the classroom, but way beyond.
In our view, our students are exciting, sharp and friendly. They expect and deserve the best.
Our staff are exceptional. They expect and deliver the best.
In October 2011 we moved into our purpose built state of the art building and it too is as special as
the people within it.
We believe that anything is possible. Not so much a ‘can do’ but a ‘will do’ culture is the norm.
With strong partnerships based on trust, respect and a shared vision between the community,
young people and the Academy, there are no limits.
We have a very special learning community. Please, feel free to find out more, come and see
us and share your thoughts and wisdom to help us on our exciting journey.
Best wishes
