The Academy will be an inclusive, purposeful and high achieving educational community, delivering high quality and innovative learning experiences. We will share the sponsors’ core values of trust, integrity, respect, teamwork, excellence, innovation, celebration and responsibility.

The relationship with the lead sponsor, Teesside University, will facilitate access to a wealth of learning resources and support strong continuity and progression routes for learners of all abilities. This will be complemented by personalised learning and the Academy’s specialist subject, Business and Enterprise, which will have a significant impact on standards and achievement for learners. The Academy will be a learning environment that is valued by learners, their families and the extended community.
