Values and Vision

The curriculum at Shireland Collegiate Academy is unusual, both in terms of structure and teaching. The school has a very strong focus on technology, with ICT playing a huge role in the education of students across all subjects. In terms of organisation, Key Stage 3 students at the school spend a great deal of time with the same teacher, and older students follow a curriculum focused on equipping students with a diverse skill-set reflective of the modern workplace. 


Ofsted

“This is an exceptional academy, which has maintained and built upon the very high standards seen at the last inspection. n Students, staff and parents are, quite rightly, proud to be associated with this academy. As one student said, ‘I feel privileged to be a student here.’”
