Witham A Priory Academy Open Day
The Witham Academy is a good school offering high quality education from the ages of 2 to 18. Central to our ethos is the motto ‘believe together, achieve together’ which promotes our strong sense of community, rooted in resilience, and high expectations for all. We are unique. This is evident in our all-through curriculum, which encompasses the breadth and ambition required to improve the life chances of our children.
Our curriculum enables children to secure a strong foundation of skills and understanding which, in turn, allows them to apply their learning to new contexts. Our approach to learning places students at the centre of everything that we do and improves more than just their academic outcomes. This is achieved through developing cultural capital while at the same time fostering a love of reading, mathematics and science, along with the creative arts and modern foreign languages. Our offer sits alongside an excellent and highly successful pastoral structure, supporting children’s wellbeing in all they do so that they feel happy, valued and safe.
Witham staff and students share their wisdom to build positive relationships which are rooted in mutual respect. The positive learning environments are based on professional trust and high expectations, and place a strong emphasis on encouraging curiosity, thereby helping children to find their true passion. Our strong community values promote responsibility and respect, qualities which encourage learners to become true citizens who are better equipped to succeed in the world around them. It is this sense of community which stays with our students as they embark on their adult lives.
