About Maltby Academy
Maltby Academy is a mainstream, non-selective, state secondary school for girls and boys aged 11-19. The school is situated in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. There are 1,040 children on its roll.
Our vision is to deliver exceptional experiences that enable all young people to thrive in a competitive world and lead successful and fulfilling lives.
Maltby Academy has highly skilled, dedicated and talented teaching and support staff.
Teachers are passionate about their subject and are keen to develop that love of learning in young people. Our team of committed support staff go that extra mile to support, challenge and encourage students and families every step of the way. The level of dedication, aspiration and challenge, underpinned by our insistence on traditional values of good manners and common courtesy continues to drive excellent examination results and secure first rate progression routes for everyone.
Our Academy is an inspirational place to learn. The school has undergone a huge transformation, having secured Academy status in January 2010 to now being a sponsoring Academy at the heart of the Maltby Learning Community. The state-of-the-art buildings create an exceptional learning environment that is befitting for the hardworking and committed staff and students that it serves.
We are committed to ensuring that every lesson is delivered with passion and is underpinned by high quality subject knowledge, so that we give our young people an exceptional learning experience every day. We only recruit and develop the very best staff and are keen to develop new and emerging leaders within our own school. At Maltby Academy we have a vibrant extra-curricular program and are committed to providing a wealth of opportunities outside the classroom.
Our aim is to help each and every one of our students develop into mature and confident young people who are fully prepared for life beyond the Academy. We are extremely aspirational for our students both academically and in relation to personal development – each student is treated as an individual and we don’t place limits on what we think they can achieve. Our 5 Key Drivers of Resilience, Confidence, Aspiration, Community, Responsibility underpin everything we do and ensure that students build the skills, qualities, and characteristics to lead successful and fulfilling lives.
However, it is our young people that make the Academy such a special place to learn - they are honest, welcoming, supportive of each other and willing to take themselves out of their comfort zone and take part in new experiences. We aim to build strong relationships with parents/carers and the wider community so that we can support our young people to strive to be the very best they can be.
