Our Academy

Welcome

I am delighted to introduce you to The St Leonards Academy. Our academy builds on the outstanding success of the predecessor schools as part of the Hastings Schools Federation. I am privileged to lead a team of talented professional staff who are committed to providing innovative and exciting learning opportunities for our students. Knowing every child underpins our values and determination to achieve success for every young person in our academy - providing exceptional personalised care, support and guidance.

We will provide opportunities for all our students to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes that enable them to move to the next phase in their education as confident, responsible, independent learners. I look forward to welcoming you and your child in joining an academy that is dynamic, aspirational and inclusive. Most importantly, a learning community where a relentless focus on unlocking the potential of every child will ensure that our students will achieve - pride through success.

Our Values

We believe in:

  • The individual – seeing each person as unique, valuable and important regardless of background, race, gender, belief or other personal characteristic.
  • Our community – recognising the importance of our local communities, their contribution to present and future generations, and their role in making a fairer and safer society.
  • Our environment – recognising the uniqueness and fragility of the environment and the importance of sustainable development.
  • Diversity – recognising the value of diversity and its contribution to a richer and more inclusive society.
  • Care and support – helping each other and understanding that we all need support at certain times in our lives.
  • Respect – treating everyone with respect, valuing their humanity and going ‘that extra mile’ to support each other.
