Headteacher's Welcome
I am delighted to welcome you to Washwood Heath Academy - a thriving All-through school in the heart of the local community. Washwood Heath Academy offers a rich, stimulating and rewarding learning environment for pupils aged 4 - 18.
Washwood Heath Academy is an oversubscribed All-through school, educating children from EYFS to Sixth Form. Our new purpose built primary school facility was opened in March 2019 and provides a fantastic teaching and learning environment for our younger pupils. Visitors to the school are always impressed by the high standards in lessons and around the Academy and how welcoming and polite our young people are.
We expect pupils to achieve the very best they can within a friendly and welcoming setting, underpinned by our HEARTS ethos and family atmosphere.
Washwood Heath inspires its pupils to strive for and reach their full potential, no matter what their abilities or talents.
I believe that every one of our pupils has potential to go on and become outstanding members of society and our caring and supportive school environment is the perfect place for them to grow in confidence. We strive to provide the best for every child by understanding, respecting and providing for each and every young person in our care. Our excellent relationships with parents and carers promote a shared understanding and belief in the school’s values and aims, working in partnership for their child’s education.
Washwood Heath offers an ambitious, broad and balanced curriculum for EYFS and Key Stages 1, 2 and 3, which aims to enrich and challenge all learners, enabling academic, moral, spiritual, social and cultural needs to be met. At key stage 4 (Years 9 to 11), the school offers an academic GCSE English Baccalaureate core for an increasing number of pupils and a broad choice of option subjects. We encourage our learners to continue their education beyond Year 11 and we offer a high quality and personalised curriculum in our Sixth Form.
Pupils will often hear me and other staff talk about what makes us who we are at Washwood Heath. We believe that all pupils should be kind, tolerant, and respectful and aim for excellence in all that they do. This, for me, characterises The Washwood Way.
The education we provide will be in line with these values and will develop your child’s knowledge, understanding and skills such that they can become highly qualified, responsible citizens able to participate fully in all parts of community life.
We have excellent teachers who stop at nothing to ensure their pupils achieve the success that they deserve, through hard work, self-belief and fun. Our extra-curricular opportunities provide something for everyone including a wide range of in-school workshops, theatre productions and sporting opportunities. Through our Washwood Heath Passport, our young people are offered a wide range of trips and visits including castles, parks, farms, cities and places of cultural and historical interest. In addition, we are increasing the number of weekend and weekday residentials for our pupils.
Every child’s education is of utmost importance to us. Everything that we do is geared towards providing the very best for the pupils that we serve. We will give you lots of information to help you appreciate more about our pupil’s progress and their courses of study. A partnership between us based on excellent communication and collaboration is the foundation of a child’s future success.
In short, Washwood Heath Academy is a place where all children, from all backgrounds and abilities can be safe, happy and inspired to achieve.
I hope you enjoy having a look around the website to find out more about the school. If you would prefer to come and see our superb learning environment in person, please contact us and we can arrange for you to have a tour.
