Inspiring Every Student
To Succeed

We have been providing quality education to the Teesside area for over 30 years


About Us

When the academy was set up just over 30 years, it had the following three aims:

  1. To ensure that students attending would be prepared for the world of work
  2. To ensure that young people would be responsible and active citizens who would make moral decisions
  3. To ensure that the school would play a key role in the community
These aims are just as relevant for us today as they were 30 years ago.

We have high expectations of all of our students and they achieve great things whilst they are with us. We place an emphasis on academic success and personal development.

It is equally important for us that when students leave us they do so as well-rounded young people who are kind and considerate of others.
