"As Principal of Inspire Academy, I would like extend a very warm welcome to all visitors to our website and to offer you the opportunity to come and visit us in Ashton under Lyne.

Inspire is a vibrant, welcoming, aspirational, community-focused, two-form entry primary school and there is a warmth in our school that we hope you will feel as soon as you enter.

I am immensely proud of the achievements that we have made since opening in September 2015. Having built one year at a time, we are now a full school and have worked hard to become the school of choice in the local area. Our children are happy, confident and hardworking – we help them to set their learning in the context of the wider world and to aim high, reaching for their dreams and being supported to overcome any barriers along the way.

We are in a wonderful new building with great teaching and support staff and with a wealth of wider learning and extended learning opportunities to help our children excel and succeed.

We have a focus on the holistic growth, learning and wellbeing of our children. Our aim is to create well-rounded, knowledgeable, responsible, motivated, kind and fulfilled young people who are not only ready to take on the world and all its challenges, but to be a positive force within it."

Our Mission

It is our mission to provide an educational journey and experience that is second to none, to be a beacon in our communities and to leave our children and families with the lasting impact of a fulfilled potential and a lifelong love of learning.In providing excellent educational services we aim to become the school of choice in our local area and provide a place where children can thrive educationally and personally day after day.

Our Vision

We believe in aspiration for all. This means nurturing, supporting and developing every aspect of every single child in our care.

We want to create a world where the sky is the limit for all of our pupils; building pathways for all and focusing on personal and academic success and eventually progress to successful employment. 

• Inspiring – Encouraging all to be as creative and motivating as possible;
• Discovering – Seeking opportunities to expand knowledge and experience;
• Caring – Providing support and guidance for the whole school community;
• Improving – Striving to better ourselves at all times; and
• Achieving – Teaching to attain aspirational targets.

For our pupils this means

• Inspiring – making somebody else want to do something positive;
• Discovering – finding out about our world we live in;
• Caring – looking after each other and thinking about others;
• Improving – getting better at things because we keep trying; and
• Achieving – getting something by working hard for it.

As a growing multi academy trust we are looking to increase the number of schools that we work with to strengthen the Trust quickly creating a hub of excellence. Initially we hope that this will be by incorporating new schools that are at least Good which will help to support and develop our Trust and our existing academies.

We are looking to grow to a Trust of between 3,500 and 5,000 pupils in the north west so that we can support more schools locally.

If you are interested in joining us we would be very happy to meet with you to discuss the opportunities and about how we could work with you to make a positive difference to the pupils in your school, working in collaboration and partnership with you. We celebrate autonomy and the individuality of our academies so that children can develop and thrive in their settings.
