Inspiring Success and Enterprise
Here at Thornaby Academy we aim to provide an exciting and inspirational environment for young people to learn and succeed. The staff at the Academy work closely as a team to support and guide our young people as they experience a diverse and challenging curriculum which will provide them with every opportunity to achieve their personal best.
Students at Thornaby Academy are at the centre of a community which is supported by our lead sponsors, Teesside University, and co-sponsors Stockton Sixth Form College, Stockton Riverside College and Stockton Borough Council. Together the sponsors and the Academy maintain five core values:
To seek excellence and the achievement of the highest educational standards for all students.
To provide opportunity and raise students’ aspirations.
To gain respect and achieve inclusivity for all members of the Academy community.
To empower students as learners and teachers as professionals.
To work in partnership with local schools and organisations.
The specialism of the Academy, Business & Enterprise with a focus on Digital Media, is an integral aspect of the academic, vocational and enrichment curriculum. Our students will learn, in an ICT rich learning environment, to develop their core skills of literacy, numeracy and ICT. This will ensure that all students are fully prepared for 21st Century professional environments. The development of the enterprise skills of communication, teamwork, self-responsibility, reliability and punctuality are valued within everything we do at the Academy. Students will be challenged in their daily life at the academy to excel as confident learners, now and in the future.
Thornaby Academy will ensure that students are fully prepared for the future. They will learn to be resilient and positive in their approach to everything they set out to achieve. This ‘can do’ attitude is an essential part of our ethos and will ensure that the Academy provides our young people with a positive learning experience in which they can thrive.
I hope that this website will inspire you to become a part of Thornaby Academy.
