A Message From The Head

It gives me great pleasure to share with you one of the most exciting developments in education within the region for many years.

In September 2006, Sandwell Academy opened its doors for the first time with an intake of 330 students. In September 2010 a further 180 eleven year old students and 150 Sixth Form students will join the existing students. The Academy will then have a full complement of 1200 students.

Sandwell Academy is one of the proposed 400 academies to be established in England. The Academy is sponsored by Thomas Telford School, The Mercers’ Company of London, HSBC Education Trust, West Bromwich Football Club and Tarmac Group Ltd.

The generous funding of the Academy by its sponsors in joint partnership with the Government means that quality education is provided for all students, whatever their ability.

'All students are recognised and stretched to achieve consistently high individual standards.'

Simon Topper, Head

Students joining the Academy will study at a brand new school with excellent facilities. It is furnished to a high standard with the most modern equipment in all areas, especially within Sport, Business and Information Communication Technology (ICT).

Students already benefit from an exciting, challenging and creative educational experience, which replicates the successful practices of Thomas Telford School, which is one of the top performing comprehensive schools in England. All students are motivated and stretched to achieve consistently high standards. Expectations are high and attendance and punctuality are very good. Our students are well mannered, well behaved and keen to do their best.

Sandwell Academy has quickly established a flourishing programme of extracurricular activities and many of our students take part in our extended day to develop their interests and learn new skills.

It is important that every student gains the most from their time at the Academy so they are well prepared for their next step in life, whether that be Further or Higher Education or the world of work.

I want your child to come home each even happy, fulfilled and having made progress. The caring environment and high level of pastoral support helps us in the pursuit of a bully free school.

I have been delighted with the progress that has been made in our first three years and our recent OFSTED inspection confirms my belief that Sandwell Academy has already established itself as a first rate school. OFSTED judges our capacity to improve further as ‘Outstanding’ and I am therefore extremely confident that Sandwell Academy can go from strength to strength.
