Welcome from the Principal

I am incredibly proud to be the Principal of Walbottle Academy. I feel privileged to lead such a talented, committed and hardworking community of pupils and staff.

At Walbottle Academy, our approach to education recognises that outcomes are paramount and also allows children to gain experiences and values which prepare them fully for life. We demonstrate a relentless daily commitment to our high expectations as we prepare our pupils for the challenges of a rapidly changing world. We are keen to share and for our community to understand our vision and how this underpins all that we do:

“We constantly focus on standards as we understand outcomes are paramount. Our decision making is driven entirely by what is best for children. By doing this we enhance the life chances of the children and young people in our care.”

Choosing a school for your child can be amongst the most difficult decisions a parent has to make. At Walbottle Academy, we care passionately about the education and welfare of our pupils and feel our pupils will flourish in a safe and successful academy. It is a fantastic time to be part of our community and we firmly believe that all young people, irrespective of background or ability will be incredibly successful as part of our academy and our Trust.

We welcome visitors throughout the year and school day to see our academy at its very best.

Mr R Harrison
Principal
