Welcome to The Discovery Academy!

I am very proud to be the Principal of the Discovery Academy where every student is supported to achieve their full potential.  Our purpose is that we are committed to “delivering ambitious, high quality teaching and learning, every lesson, every day, overcoming inequality and allowing every student to achieve success”.

We belong to a forward-thinking Trust, encompassing a number of successful local schools and we passionately believe that in education there should be equity for all.  I strongly believe that a postcode should not impact the standard of education a child receives or limit their aspirations for the future.

As an academy we have created a culture centred around our core values of Pride, Respect and Commitment to ensure high expectations, positive relationships and support for all our students.  I believe having high expectations of behaviour and attitudes enables teachers to teach and students to develop in a caring, supportive environment.
