I am delighted to welcome you to Essa Academy.  Essa Academy is an integral part of our locality and together we will ensure Essa continues to be a school we are all proud of. 

 

How do we define success? Is it just academic? Personal? Or is it a mixture of the two? 

 

I believe in ensuring our students leave Essa with a skill-set that prepares them for future employment. I believe that qualifications get you an interview; it’s the person that gets the job. We have to deliver both. Students have one chance at a secondary education and have 1000 school days to be the best they can be. My job is to ensure every day counts so ‘All Will Succeed’.

 

This is achieved through:

 

• A clear focus on English, Maths and Science

• Compulsory GCSE option of either Music, Art or Drama

• Latest computing facilities: both Windows and Apple devices

• Outstanding pastoral support: safe and happy students learn!

• Stimulating environment and fantastic facilities

• Ensuring the right courses based on ability and potential

• Promoting leadership through delivery of Duke of Edinburgh, Sports Leaders, Young Leaders, Army Cadets

• Providing our unique ‘Essa Experience’ course culminating in graduation each year

​

I believe we have something very special at Essa Academy.  Pop in and see what we are about. 

 

I look forward to seeing you soon.
