Headteacher’s welcome

Whitley Academy – A place to “be the best you can be”.

We believe here at Whitley Academy that everyone, whether students or staff, can be supported to be the best that they can be.

Whitley Academy strives to achieve excellent outcomes for young people, but also provides opportunities for them to be creative, innovative and to enjoy their learning. Our students develop into responsible young adults with high self-esteem and the skills and competences to equip them for success in the future.

Whitley Academy provides a safe and stimulating environment. We have a dedicated, highly skilled and committed team of staff upholding high expectations of, and aspirations for our students’ attendance, punctuality, behaviour, uniform and attitude to learning.

Mrs K Wright, Headteacher
