Welcome to
Engage Academy
On behalf of our staff and pupils, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Engage Academy’s website. At Engage Academy we offer a nurturing, safe, inclusive and friendly environment where the building of trusting relationships is paramount. We have extremely high expectations and achieve good academic progress across the curriculum with an emphasis placed on improving pupils’ reading, writing and maths skills through personalised and creative learning opportunities.
We have a creative curriculum that enables all pupils, regardless of need, to achieve their potential and thrive in their new schools. This curriculum aims to practically support pupils in a range of ways; offering support for well-being and an acknowledgement of their skills and talents in the wider curriculum. Pupils previously disengaged from learning re-engage with newfound enthusiasm and zest for learning.
We use our website to share important information about our policies and practice and to celebrate and showcase the outstanding work that goes on in the school.
If you require any more information, please get in touch with our School Business Manager – Gemma Mitchell.
Engage Academy is part of Ethos Academy Trust. Victoria Del Giudice is our Trust Board Chair. For more information about the Trust, including details of governance arrangements, please click on the Governance link below. (School contact number 01924 862232)
We look forward to hearing from you.
