ALEC REED ACADEMY
From Nursery to Post-16
and beyond...
Alec Reed Academy provides an all-through education
where children can start their schooling in the nursery
at three years old and stay until they leave at 18.
T
his is the realisation of our
founding sponsor Sir Alec
Reed. His determination has
been to provide children
with an outstanding education. The
academy builds on exactly these
principles: high expectations, doing
the simple things right and the
belief that all children, regardless of
background or ability, can succeed.
ALEC REED ACADEMY IS A ‘GOOD
SCHOOL’ (OFSTED APRIL 2015)
‘High expectations are the norm.
The academy prepares pupils well
for the next stage of their education,
whether this is moving from the
primary to secondary or moving on
from the Sixth Form’ (Ofsted 2015).
The academy provides a calm,
ordered learning environment
where children are respected
as individuals and thrive.
‘Relationships between teachers
and students are excellent.
Over the time that pupils
attend the academy they
develop into mature
young people who are well
prepared for the next stage
of their lives’ (Ofsted 2015).
A further success has been that the
academy was awarded the National
Collins PiXL Award for Outstanding
Progress in recognition of its excellent
examination results in 2014.
In designing the academy, architects
have created a spacious, light and airy
building, impressive state of the art
facilities and indoor and outdoor sports
centres available to students, families,
and the community. There is an adult
education centre and extensive grounds
with an ‘Academy Fields’, a unique
nature area perfect for outdoor learning.
