Â鶹ÊÓƵ came into existence on Wednesday, 3rd September, 2014 and has never looked back. Mr John Woods, is our Academy Headteacher, who has an extensive career background in education and is passionate about young people achieving their best irrespective of social, economic, ethnic, or other backgrounds. The Â鶹ÊÓƵ **GOLDEN** culture is based around rewards and recognition. This inspires our students to be the best they can be and strive for ‘Success, nothing less’. Through this they develop a real understanding of right and wrong. We work closely with external agencies to strengthen the community ethos and create a safe environment for our students to thrive. Students have a clear voice at Â鶹ÊÓƵ and they are proactive in helping staff to make Â鶹ÊÓƵ better every day. Our sponsor is FCAT (the Fylde Coast Academy Trust) who provide real opportunities not only for our students, but our staff too, across the growing number of FCAT schools. High quality staff development, enrichment opportunities for our students, and incredible investment into our facilities is something we are confident will bring our young people a greater chance of success.
