Welcome to Mounts Bay Academy where I am delighted and honoured to have been appointed Principal in March 2024.
Our young people join us on a five year journey through various curriculum areas and programmes of study, but Mounts Bay Academy is so much more than this. The menu of activities is endless and it is our belief that our students need to sample a range of experiences in order to find their element, their specialism or their passion. This is done in a calmly high performing environment with all learners supported by a programme of outstanding pastoral care. These opportunities and experiences lead to our learners thriving both socially and academically and ready for life in an ever-changing adult world.
The Academy responds to this changing and developing world, but also captures and celebrates some of the successes of the past. We are proud of our Cornish heritage and yet we aspire to work and play on a global stage embracing the latest technologies in order to further support learning and perform at the highest level.
Mounts Bay Academy is proud to be part of the Leading Edge Academies Partnership – a group of like minded schools in Cornwall all sharing the core values of Excellence, Equity and Evolution. We are an ethical community and part of our decision making process is to look at the impact of that decision on our community – locally, nationally and globally.
The Academy has high standards and expectations in terms of behaviour and conduct and all learners are expected to behave in such a way that enables our community to thrive and grow, as is embodied in our three R’s – Respect, Responsibility and Relationships.
Since I joined the Academy, I have felt safe, I have been happy, I have felt challenged, and I have been genuinely welcomed into the Mounts Bay community. Is this not what all of us want from a school?
Please do get in touch if you would like to come and visit. I look forward to meeting you.
