Welcome to Consett Academy

As the Principal of Consett Academy it fills me with immense pride to be able to work with the children of the area but also the parents/carers. This will be my second role as Principal and I am really excited about moving the Academy forward and ensure it is a place of outstanding education for all.

At Consett we:

• Have very high expectations;
• Challenge students to achieve their best;
• Ensure progress for all and our students leave the Academy with fantastic results;
• Have a dedicated and positive staff team;
• Believe in inclusivity and that every student, no matter their background, deserves the best possible education.

Please accept my offer of an open invitation to visit us- any time- to experience the Academy first hand

Our Curriculum

The curriculum at Consett Academy aims to embrace the core values of resilience, aspiration, respect, honesty and tolerance.

The Academy fosters a culture of aspiration in which all students aim to achieve their full potential both in academic excellence and beyond.

At the heart of our school Transformation Plan is our three belief statements:

“We believe teaching should inspire a passion for learning and a curriculum that nurtures confidence and self-worth”.

“We believe that good vocabulary and oracy is at the heart of every lesson and is the key to lifelong success”.

“We believe all our staff should feel fulfilled and be empowered to innovate and take risks”.
