Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy: Preparing students for the future
(1).jpg)
Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy offers excellent learning opportunities to all its students from Years 7 to 13.
As the flagship academy of Leigh Academies Trust, they have an inspirational building hosting modern technology and fantastic facilities. They ensure that students’ talents and interests are nurtured through the broad and balanced curriculum through the delivery of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme in Year 7, 8 and 9, preparing students both academically and socially for their futures.
Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy takes pride in being the first school in the UK to have been awarded The Healthy Minds School kitemark. Ofsted commented in April 2023 “that pupils have exceptional opportunities… and an extremely well-thought-out ‘healthy minds’ programme” ensuring a rich curriculum offer for all.
The academy strives for excellence in all that it does, which is reflected in the dedicated staff and their consistent approach to teaching and learning, ensuring all students are happy, successful and resilient to the challenges they face. They provide Chromebooks to every student and are committed to developing digital learning strategies to support learning in the academy and at home.
The intention is to work in close partnership with parents and carers to ensure that students of all abilities, interests and talents are given every opportunity to be part of this inspiring, challenging and supportive community.
