Welcome

I am honoured to lead a team of highly skilled and dedicated professionals who are committed to ensuring that every pupil at our academy embarks on a positive and enriching educational journey. Many of our pupils have faced challenges in mainstream school settings, but at our academy, they often develop a renewed outlook to LEARNING and go onto complete their formal secondary education.

Our curriculum is designed to enable pupils to achieve both GCSE and vocational qualifications across 5-8 subjects, including English and Maths. We believe deeply in the opportunities these qualifications open for our pupils, whether in further education, employment, or training. We provide high-quality teaching, rigorous assessments, enrichment activities, and a welcoming environment for pupils, parents, and visitors.

Our guiding principle is that there should be “No Loss to Learning” and “No-One Left Behind.” We operate our academy with the highest standards, rooted in integrity, tolerance, respect, and a belief in each pupil’s potential. We continuously emphasise these values as a foundation for life.

Beyond academics, we offer a robust pastoral support system, led by our dedicated staff and in partnership with external agencies. This support aims to build pupils’ skills and resilience, helping them overcome barriers to progress and navigate the challenges they may encounter.

We recognise and respect the individuality of every pupil, coming from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. By helping them achieve their best academically, while also nurturing their interpersonal skills and core values, we believe that all our pupils can excel, realise their potential, and access the full range of opportunities available to them.

EBN Academy 2, part of the EBN Academy Trust, was rated Good by OFSTED in both December 2018 and May 2024.
