Welcome to the PRIDE Academy

I am thrilled to be working with everyone in our community, and look forward to seeing us all triumph with perseverance.

In April 2022 we moved into a brand new, purpose-built School building. The new Free School offers extensive facilities including specialist science labs, well-equipped art and design and technology rooms in a bright and spacious building, as well as an indoor sports hall and an outdoor multi use games area. Our new building, varied curriculum and celebration of individuality allows us to take PRIDE in all that we do.

At The Pride Academy , the safety and wellbeing of every child is our highest priority. We are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all pupils and expect all staff, governors, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment. (Click here for our Safeguarding page)

We hope that you find our website useful, but I encourage you to visit us to experience our culture; please contact the school office and we will be delighted to show you around our school.

The dedication and support of the PRIDE Academy staff is outstanding both to parent and child. Communication between school and home is excellent enabling a truly holistic approach.

The school has a good understanding and built a rapport with my son. He has been happy and well cared for to the point where he has met his full potential and thrived. The right balance and structure has provided for my son’s complex needs. Thank you for your continuous support.
