The academy is involved in a number of productive partnerships which contribute to our continuing success.
These partnerships involve sharing good practice between schools, collaborative professional development of teachers and collaborative development of materials to support teaching and learning.
Our partnerships include:
ARK Schools Network
We are part of the ARK Schools network which now comprises eight academies and offers opportunities for students and staff.
