What our staff say

"Being in a one form entry academy could be tricky but the links with other academies is really strong."

"It's been a pleasure receiving excellent practical advice in a way which has been friendly, down to earth and manageable.…you have been mindful of wellbeing and the everyday practicalities."

"I can't imagine how much work has gone into planning all the twilight sessions but just wanted to say thank you. I think the options offered look fantastic - considering how the training budget in most schools has been squeezed, I think we're incredibly fortunate to have this on offer."

"The opportunity to visit other academies in the Kite really helps to develop understanding of different contexts."

"There is a very strong team who all support each other and are involved in supporting the vision of the Trust and academies.  It is a friendly and welcoming place to be for new staff. All staff know all children in the academy."

"It’s great having networks for NQT+1 as well as NQTs and SCITTS- it recognises the challenges we face in Year 2."

"‘There is great teaching at the academy; there is a degree of autonomy that enables teachers to ‘have a go’ at new ways of teaching and tackling new topics which is enabling."
