About Whitley Academy

As an RSA academy we believe that all students should enjoy their education, as well as achieving excellent outcomes in terms of examination results.

We are a forward looking school and are not afraid to innovate in order to achieve our main aim – for all our students to be the best they can be. We are at the leading edge of curriculum developments, have established a strong foundation for delivering excellence and welcome applications from individuals willing to roll their sleeves up and join in.

Whitley Academy is very proud of its new sports facilities, conference room and our brand new Auditorium.

We have some fantastic International links which we are very proud of. Please take a look at our link schools across the globe and view some of our amazing trips to these places.

Three schools in the RSA Family of Academies have been selected to become National Teaching Schools as part of a new RSA Academies Teaching School Alliance. Whitley Academy in Coventry, Holyhead School in Birmingham, and Arrow Vale RSA Academy in Redditch are three of only 60 schools in England to be granted teaching school status in the latest round.

The RSA Family of Academies is a small and dynamic group of schools. There are currently seven schools in the Family who are all based in the West Midlands.

Whitley Academy shares the leadership of the RSA Academies’ Teaching School Alliance. We recruit and train new entrants to the teaching profession, identify leadership potential, and provide support for schools across the West Midlands, to transform outcomes for young people, and bring about positive social change.
