Headteacher's Welcome:

As the Headteacher of Workington Academy, I am immensely proud of the high standard of education we provide to all of our students. We are a community school, driven to provide the absolute best experiences and opportunities to every young person at the Academy. Our ethos of ‘Be The Best You Can Be’ is at the heart of everything we do, whether in the classroom or on the sports field. Underpinning our ethos are the core values of Respect, Responsibility, and Resilience. Through these values, we are able to round and develop every child in our school and prepare them for a full and rewarding life. As a proud member of Cumbria Education Trust (CET), we work proactively with all our trust schools, to develop an excellent curriculum that supports students in achieving the very best outcomes. Alongside this we also work together to provide outstanding extra-curricular opportunities in the areas of sport, design, leadership and expressive arts.

We strive to continuously improve, never resting on our laurels, always looking for the next step to maximise student outcomes or improve student engagement. We are passionate about going the extra mile for all our students, supporting them to be the best versions of themselves.
