I am privileged to lead Kingsley Academy as Principal, and extremely proud of the phenomenal achievements that we have secured over the past 4 years. Our school is a warm welcoming place, which is characterised by excellent teaching, high levels of support and exceptional relationships between staff and students. For the last two years, our school has demonstrated the impact of great teaching by securing outcomes in exams that are above the national average. Students at Kingsley make more progress from the beginning of Year 7 to the end of Year 11, than their peers with students securing outcomes that are close to half a grade higher than others with the same starting point. Our outcomes at GCSE and A-Level have continued to improve and this year despite the national picture of results returning to 2019 measures we have continued to improve. Our improvement in academic outcomes for all students is testament to the hard work and dedication of our truly remarkable staff body who go above and beyond.

Our students are our absolute strength. They are overwhelmingly polite, respectful and hard-working. At Kingsley Academy, we are big believers in instilling values of respect, hard work and kindness in our students. We expect our students to work hard and behave well both inside and outside the classroom. This is evident in our students' attitude towards learning, their respectful and polite manner towards each other, and in their interactions in the local community. This year we have launched a new initiative with students where we ask them to be kind, courageous and curious. I have no doubt, students that follow all three of these values will go on to be successful I have no doubt.

Kingsley Academy is now a well performing school of choice. We are full in every year group with a substantial waiting list of students who wish to join our academy. My ambition is to now lead the school to sustainable excellence and be the top performing school in the country. This ambition will mean that every student can and will have everything they need to lead a successful and fulfilling life.

Bob Tinsley,

Principal

It’s impossible to overstate the difference that a good teacher can make in a child’s life. You will be the person to set pupils on the road to success. You will be the person to see a struggling pupil’s eyes light up when they realise for the first time that, yes, they really can do this.

With a good teacher, a child whose family has always been wary of school can discover the joy of learning. With a good teacher, a child battling low self-esteem can begin to recognise their own potential.

Every single adult in a school has the potential to transform lives for the better. That’s why talented people are our lifeblood. We could not do what we do without you. Our ambition to give every one of our pupils the best possible start in life means nothing without the teachers and teaching assistants in our classrooms, and the senior leaders and admin teams in the school office. We attract dynamic people, and we give our team members the space to reimagine what’s possible. That’s why your career is as important to us as it is to you. We want you to develop, we want you to grow, and we want you to feel valued.

We believe every child deserves the best education possible, regardless of background, geography or ability. We want to see them fulfil their potential - at school and beyond.

Our mission

• We will provide an excellent education to every child, in every classroom, every day.
• With excellent leadership and teaching in every school, we will help children go on to lead successful and happy lives.
• We will work with others beyond our network to benefit more children and communities.
