Welcome from the Principal

Julia Collins

The Leigh Academy offers excellent learning opportunities to all our students from Year 7 to Year 13.

As the flagship academy of Leigh Academies Trust we have an inspirational building hosting modern technology and fantastic facilities.  We ensure that our students are prepared both academically and socially for their futures.  We ensure that students’ talents and interests are nurtured through our broad and balanced curriculum through the delivery of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme in Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9.

We take pride in being the first school in the UK to have been awarded The Healthy Minds School kite mark, in recognition of successful involvement in the Healthy Minds research project and demonstrating a commitment to the personal development of students.

We strive for excellence in all that we do whilst ‘Opening Minds to Success’. This is reflected in our dedicated staff and our consistent approach to teaching and learning to ensure all of our students are happy, successful and resilient to the challenges they face.

Our intention is to work in close partnership with parents and carers to ensure that students of all abilities, interests and talents are given every opportunity to be part of our inspiring, challenging and supportive community.

I look forward to meeting you.
