We offer an exceptional academic and extracurricular experience at Samuel
Whitbread Academy in an outstanding learning environment where students are
expected to work hard and achieve their best. In our last Ofsted inspection, we
were judged as ‘Good’ with many outstanding features and over the next three
years we have set ourselves the target of being Outstanding! Our GCSE results
are amongst the best in the local authority. We offer a well-balanced curriculum
with plenty of choice to prepare our students for the next stage in their lives.
Most of our students continue on to the Sixth Form, which is one of the largest
and highest performing in the area - providing students with a huge range of
courses designed to match the expectations of universities and employers. Our
pastoral care is exceptional and we have dedicated pastoral support teams for
each year group. The academy is also broken down into five houses, named after
people who have made a distinctive contribution to our community. These provide
the framework for the multitude of different competitions, celebrations and
charity events that bring our school community together during the year.
Extracurricular opportunity is a vital part of our ethos and we expect all of
our students to get involved in at least one club or activity. There are a huge
number of opportunities ranging from highly competitive sports teams to
spectacular drama and musical performances. We enjoy showing visitors around the
school so please take the opportunity to come and see us during the school day,
so you can see the school in action and we can answer any questions you may
have. We look forward to seeing you.
