"Welcome to E-ACT Perry Court Academy.

It is an honour to be part of such a vibrant and dedicated community; I am committed to work together to ensure the best possible educational experience for your children.

With over 20 years of experience in education at Perry Court, I have had the privilege of working with the diverse student populations and working in various roles within the school. I am driven by a passion for fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment where every student can thrive. At Perry Court we firmly believe in the sense of ‘belonging.’ This allows children to feel safe and happy; essential to allow them to learn grow.

All staff at Perry Court, are committed to providing a high-quality education that not only meets academic standards but also supports the holistic development of each child. Our dedicated staff are focused on creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment where students are encouraged to explore, innovate, and achieve their full potential. We have robust procedures in place to ensure safeguarding underpins all we do at, allowing them to take risks and grow.

I believe that strong partnerships between home and school are essential for student success. I encourage you to stay involved in your child’s education, participate in school events, and communicate openly with our teachers and staff. Our thriving PTA support the school in making incredible memories for everyone.

Our children are able to create strong relationships with each other and staff, showing our PERRY values in all they do. Our core values of positivity, engagement, respect, responsibility and achievement underpin everything we do here. We aim that they leave our setting in Year 6 with all the tools required for their next step in life; a PERRY Courter for life!"

What it means to be part of E-ACT

As an E-ACT academy we share ideas with other academies in the trust in ways other schools may not be able to. Our pupils and staff also feel part of something much bigger.

E-ACT academies also have support from people across the trust who help us to make things even better for our children.

An E-ACT Academy in Birmingham, E-ACT Heartlands Academy, was ranked one of the best secondary schools in the country and was named School of the Year at the Times Educational Supplement schools awards in 2020.

Think big, show team spirit, do the right thing

We believe that young people should never be held back from achieving great things.

By encouraging them to think big and believe that anything is possible, by showing them the importance of team spirit and by supporting them to carefully think through decisions to do the right thing, we know that every one of our pupils can realise their full potential.

At E-ACT, we have an excellent network of support and educational expertise across our 28 academies to deliver the very best education to our pupils. We have 2,500 colleagues who each play a vital role in educating our 18,000 pupils.
