Welcome to Axe Valley Academy

I BELIEVE THAT EVERY CHILD DESERVES TO GO TO A GREAT SCHOOL. A strong education sits at the heart of providing students with a life of choice and opportunity. Students deserve thebest teachers who think carefully about what they teach and how they teach it, which leads to the qualifications that students need to be able to determine their next steps in life.

Whilst lessons and the qualifications that follow are very important, I also believe that schools have a responsibility to help all children grow into people that they are proud of. Axe Valley Academy provides many opportunities outside of the classroom where young people get to develop their passions and interests, or to make new ones. I’m a strong believer in the power of the arts, sports, clubs, trips and experiences and that all young people should be encouraged to make the most of these throughout their time in secondary school. Our characters and personalities don’t grow by chance, but by the experiences that we have and the opportunities that we take.

I will always have high expectations of every member of this school community. I expect students to put learning first; teachers are here to teach and students are here to learn, and therefore expect lessons to be disruption-free at all times. I know that this is a school that works tirelessly to provide the best for every student regardless of their starting point.
