Head of School Welcome

Welcome to the Widnes Academy website which we hope will give you an idea of the welcoming ethos that surrounds our school.

I am extremely proud to be Head of School at Widnes Academy. I believe passionately that our children deserve the very best education and that they are at the heart of everything that we do. Our children make us proud every day and they are at the heart of everything that we do.

Our most recent Ofsted (March 2023) once again judged the school to be good in all areas, with a ‘strong culture of safeguarding’.

The inspection also highlighted that:

• Parents and carers value the approachability of staff
• There is a strong sense of community
• Subject leaders have strong expertise and provide guidance and support for teachers
• Leaders have designed a broad, ambitious and interesting for all pupils including those with SEND
• P​upils said that staff are kind and caring
• The atmosphere in school is calm and supportive
• Leaders have placed a high importance on pupils learning to read well
