Welcome from the Headteacher
I am honoured to welcome you to Acklam Grange School, “a good school
with outstanding features”. As you will gather from this prospectus and any
visits you choose to make, our students’ academic progress and personal
development, welfare and safety are a continual focus for all staff and at the
heart of all that we do.
At Acklam Grange School we ensure that all students receive an inclusive
education through a broad and balanced curriculum and are well prepared for
life in modern Britain through:
• High aspirations for all
• Excellent teaching
• Excellent student behaviour
• Outstanding personal development and welfare
• Rigorous safeguarding
• AGS Pride
• ARC Services
• Excellent community cohesion and local community groups
• Ensuring ‘no child’ ever gets left behind
• The Respect Agenda
I have high expectations of students and staff alike and I am confident that Acklam Grange School will continue to be a successful, high
performing school across both Teesside and the country, through keeping our traditional family values at the centre of everything we do.
Michael Laidler, Headteacher
Choosing the right secondary school for your child is a key decision. I welcome you to visit our school to see students at work. Please
feel free to make an appointment with the school office. Students, staff, parents, members of the Local Council, members and trustees
of The Legacy Learning Trust are proud to be part of the Acklam Grange School community. I hope that you will join us too and I look
forward to working with you to ensure that we achieve the very best for your child.
Andrea Crawshaw, Executive Headteacher
