Care, Guidance & Support Care, guidance and support are key elements at The Sutton Academy. Collectively we uphold an ethos where students feel safe, are happy and develop into confident and successful learners through a strong pastoral system. We have a team of specialist support staff who work alongside form tutors and teachers to help your child throughout their time in the academy. Students join us knowing that they can fulfil their academic potential as well as developing essential skills for success both in and beyond the academy. A strong relationship with parents is vitally important to us. Our most recent inspection commented on the strong culture of safeguarding which is underpinned by positive relationships between students and staff. Behaviour for Learning At The Sutton Academy, the highest possible standards are clearly communicated, consistently demonstrated and upheld by all staff and students at all times. Students appreciate that our high standards are crucial in preparing them for success, both now and in the future. Staff and students take great pride in maintaining the high standards in our learning community, demonstrating the ‘Better Never Stops’ mentality. Underpinning this is the fact that teachers are highly effective at establishing positive relationships in their classrooms, which students value and respond well to. Enrichment We recognise valuable educational experience reaches beyond the classroom. Everyday our students have the opportunity to build memories, explore a range of challenges, and develop their creativity and cultural awareness. Students are encouraged to nurture their confidence and ambitions through a broad and extensive extra-curricular programme, designed to develop them as a whole and allow them to compete with their peers nationally and globally. The excellent facilities at the academy are utilised to offer a broad range of enrichment opportunities to engage all students.
