Chelsea Academy aspires to and demands excellence in everything it does. It is guided by the Ofsted criteria for outstanding schools and is building upon on proven methods found in other high-achieving schools.
In his previous school, Chelsea Academy's Principal Andy Yarrow was recognised by Ofsted for using "his exceptional talents to build a leadership team of highly motivated individuals who constantly strive for excellence". He has worked hard to recruit the highest quality teaching staff. Strong senior leadership and governance ensures high standards and aspirations. During the Academy's first year, students made significant academic progress which, in the case of a number of subjects (including Mathematics and science), was in line with the top 5% of schools nationally.
Students are expected to work hard and demonstrate exemplary standards of behaviour, both within and beyond the Academy. In particular, behaviour that damages other students' education is not tolerated. Parents and carers are expected to support fully, and play their part in reinforcing, the Academy's ethos and expectations on a day-to-day basis.
Parents are able to use their home or office, to get regular information and feedback about their child's progress. There are also many other opportunities for parents to become involved in the life and development of the Academy, such as through the Parents' Council.
Children who take pride in their appearance are also likely to take pride in their achievement and conduct. Students are expected to be positive ambassadors for the school and local community. The uniform is both traditional in style and smart in appearance. Parents are expected to ensure that students are properly dressed and equipped for school.
