Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy offers excellent learning opportunities to all 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 a 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: "Pupils have exceptional opportunities… and an extremely well-thought-out ‘healthy minds’ programme,” which ensures a rich curriculum offer for all.
They strive for excellence in all that they do, 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. The Academy provides Chromebooks to every student and is committed to developing digital learning strategies to support learning in the Academy and at home.
Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy's 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 the inspiring, challenging and supportive community.
