To Secondary School at The Edron Academy

Welcome to the Secondary School at the Edron Academy. We encourage, support and challenge our students to be the best they can be, both academically and socially.

We offer rigorous programmes which promote academic excellence and are proud of the wide choice of subjects we are able to offer students, particularly at Key Stage 4 and 5. Our team of teachers are well qualified, highly motivated and come from all over the world.

Our academic programmes are supported by a strong pastoral programme which celebrates each student as an individual and ensures they are emotionally secure.

Beyond the curriculum, we offer leadership opportunities and participation in a range of activities from the School Production to Football teams. We support student-led initiatives, such as the new Cheer Squad, the Environmental Committee, Be the Change committee, Debate Team, Agenda (LGBT club), and the Lion’s Eye newspaper, run by students for students.

We are proud of the contribution that each student makes towards our school community, in demonstrating our school’s values and the characteristics of the student profile.

Welcome once again.

Pastoral Care

At the Edron Academy, we don’t just teach our subjects; we promote the holistic development of all students and pastoral care is the foundation of everything we do. We ensure that each student feels safe, valued and supported. We care about our students.

All of our teachers are part of our pastoral team, working hard to support students and ensure that they feel emotionally secure and valued for their unique character and abilities. This, in turn, helps them to achieve academic success and prepare for the future.

Students have access to tutors, mentors, heads of year and coordinators, all of whom support them in growing and developing. Our Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) and Pastoral Curriculum programmes equip students with the necessary learning and social skills, including study skills, organisation and stress management. These activities are updated to reflect the changing world in which our students live and learn, covering topics such as digital literacy and the appropriate use of artificial intelligence (AI). These skills are covered throughout the entire curriculum, in all subjects, as well as in dedicated activities.

The Edron House System

The House System is a traditional feature of British schools and helps create a sense of belonging and friendship. Our House system is used to promote healthy competition amongst our students and staff.

Students participate in House events throughout the year. All students have the opportunity to gain House Points for commitment to all areas of school life and for demonstrating our school values. All House Points gained help their house achieve the ultimate recognition of winning the annual House Cup.
