WELCOME

TO E-ACT CREST ACADEMY

I take great pride in seeing how our students thrive in our Academy, and with the support of teachers, parents/carers and our wider Brent community we can ensure our students continue to flourish.

We have worked hard to recruit the best teachers possible so that every student will have access to a fully inclusive and appropriately challenging curriculum, which is taught by highly qualified and outstanding teachers. We do expect all students to strive for excellence in their academic studies and that they will challenge themselves to extend their knowledge and understanding. In everything we do we have high aspirations for all students which allows them to flourish as life-long learners and we welcome your support in challenging our young people to strive for personal excellence.

Our staff will demand the highest standards from each and every student; ensuring they are punctual, smartly dressed, polite and conscientious learners. The school community challenges every student to aspire for academic excellence and we now provide a 6th Form provision which allows access to Russell Group Universities.

We look forward to working in partnership with you in the community to improve the life chances of our young people.

Student voice At E-ACT Crest Academy our students are at the heart of the academy, that’s why our students play an active role in how the academy works. We encourage our students to voice their opinions which teaches them important skills such as debating, leadership and teamwork.

I support younger students by showing them that focus and drive is key when aspiring to achieve good grades and prepare for life after school.
