Faculties

The Academy is divided into 4 Faculties, each led by an Assistant Principal. Faculties have responsibility for the Academic Achievement and Welfare of each student assigned to the faculty. Faculties provide a sense of belonging to a smaller unit which overcomes the concerns some students have when moving to a large secondary school.

Year groups are divided into tutor groups and are assigned a Faculty Tutor who will meet with the tutor group each day and monitor student progress and behaviour closely, liaising with parents as appropriate.  Each Faculty Tutor is lead by a Subject Coordinator who has overall responsibility of the academic and pastoral welfare of all students in their faculty.

Healthy competition between faculties will encourage teamwork and a sense of pride in achieving excellence in Sport, Enterprise, Academic Achievement, Attendance and contribution to the success of the Academy.

The faculties are made up of the following staff structure and colour scheme:

Creative Arts
Assistant Principal
English & Media Coordinator   -   Creative Arts Coordinator

Business & Enterprise
Assistant Principal
Mathematics Coordinator  -  Business & ICT Coordinator

World & Citizenship Studies
Assistant Principal
Humanities Coordinator  -  PE Coordinator  -  MFL Coordinator

Each student will wear a tie with the corresponding colour
of the Faculty they are assigned to.
