Welcome to Town End Academy

It gives me great pleasure on behalf of all of the staff, children, parents and governors to warmly welcome you to our Town End Academy website, where we hope to provide you with a wealth of information about our caring community school.

Town End Academy is a vibrant, supportive and welcoming school, with a fantastic team, who are both nurturing and inspirational. We are committed to providing the best learning experiences possible with the children placed at the centre of everything we do; children always come first.

We aim for the children in our school to be happy, safe, individuals who all achieve their full potential. Everyone, not just the children, see themselves as part of an effective learning community, working hard to achieve excellence. We really are a school family who are driven to provide the very best life experiences and education for our children and families.

Each child at Town End is treated as an individual; allowing room for particular talents and skills to flourish, as well as encouraging confidence and success in areas they find challenging to accomplish. We pride ourselves on our caring, inclusive ethos where all children are supportive of one another. Our children are encouraged to explore and develop all aspects of their characters in order to become confident, independent thinkers, who are prepared for the next stage of their lives at each transition.

Our aim is to make each child’s primary school days exciting and rewarding, and to develop thoughtful, resilient members of the community. Our curriculum is designed to engage children in a sense of awe and wonder for the world around us, so that they develop a love of learning and discovery which will enable them to progress in the future.

Our values are embedded in everything we do. Life has challenges at every level and our core values of respect, reflection and resilience are woven through our curriculum to ensure that our children can become successful - not only in their education - but as positive citizens who can make a difference to our community.

At Town End Academy, PSHE education is of the utmost importance in developing our pupils’ knowledge and skills to keep themselves healthy and safe, and prepare for life and work in modern Britain. Our PSHE education helps pupils to develop the skills and attributes they need to manage many of the critical opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face as they grow up and in adulthood. By teaching pupils to stay safe and healthy, and by building self-esteem and empathy, our children can raise their aspirations and improve their life chances. The teaching of Fundamental British Values is woven into the full curriculum and is embodied in Town End’s ethos and values system.

We look forward to welcoming you into our school family. Should you wish to visit, please contact the school office to make an appointment.
