About The Grange Academy
The Grange Academy is at heart of the local community and educates children from the ages of 3 to 16 years old. The ‘all through’ status of the school is what makes this such a special place and it is a real honour to have the opportunity to lead this school.
Staff choose to work here for all the right reasons; they care about the young people they serve and fully utilise the fantastic grounds and facilities that we are so lucky to have. Alongside this there is a range of extra-curricular activities and trips to ensure that the students here are given a well-rounded experience.
The focus is on ensuring the highest standards, expectations and aspirations for all our students. We have a strong belief in the importance of excellent appearance, behaviour and work. Our students will tell you that I ask that they are respectful, they persevere and try their best in everything they do. I believe that by encouraging every student to fulfil their potential, whatever their talents and interests, we will ensure they leave The Grange Academy well equipped for the next phase of their lives.
As a parent myself, I recognise the huge responsibility that we have to not only educate, but care, support and guide every single child at The Grange Academy. I look forward to building on the high levels of support we have from or community, as I know with the support of parents, carers and local community we can ensure the students at this school can achieve highly.
