Overview

At East Leake Academy we believe passionately that every young person should have access to a broad and balanced curriculum, so they can foster a true love for learning allowing them to reach their full potential. Everything that we do at the academy is underpinned by our core values – we empower, we respect, we care – which are firmly central to our academy’s ethos.

We deliver on our beliefs through providing a robust curriculum and high-quality teaching and learning focused around developing knowledge and skills, as well as creating opportunities for students to explore learning deeply through developing debate, problem solving, critical evaluation and communication skills. Alongside this our excellent pastoral programme is designed to allow further development of leadership, organisation, resilience, initiative and communication skills in readiness for future lives beyond school.

The academy as a result has a strong track record of academic success at both GCSE and A Level. Life at East Leake Academy however is about much more than strong academic performance. Students participate in a wide variety of disciplines such as English, sport, drama, music, enterprise, science, technology and maths, to name but a few. We have an inclusive and personalised approach, rich curriculum, and extensive range of extra-curricular activities make East Leake Academy a very special and positive place to learn.
