E-ACT PARKER ACADEMY WELCOME

Here at E-ACT Parker Academy, our focus is to put the care and support of children at the heart of everything we do, because we know that happy children succeed.

Our students are always encouraged to strive to be the best they can be. We believe in delivering excellence in teaching and providing our students with opportunities to reach their full potential.

We believe high aspirations for all pupils will allow them to flourish as lifelong learners and challenge young people to strive for personal excellence in all they do. The school community will challenge every pupil to aspire for academic excellence and we will provide a 6th Form provision which will allow access to Russell Group Universities.

I will look forward to welcoming you and your child to our Academy soon.

LEARN WITH US

THINK BIG, THINK BETTER

We offer a personalised curriculum that nurtures the talents of each individual. Our curriculum covers traditional academic subjects but also meets the needs of the modern world.

At E-ACT Parker Academy, we don’t just teach your child to dream, we also teach your child how to make their dreams a reality. To make this happen, we will expose your child to a broad range of subjects and experiences to help them find out where their passion lies. Our curriculum includes the following subjects:

Opening minds, opening doors

Our goal is to stimulate a love of learning for life and develop the confidence and

skills essential for our students’ future. In partnership with universities and the business world, we will help your child to create and develop a plan to achieve their goals.

Student voice

We value our students’ input into how the school operates and where we can develop our practice. The importance of consulting students about their views on their learning is an integral part of the success of the E-ACT Parker Academy.

We have a variety of student groups such as prefects and subject ambassadors. These student groups encourage our students to voice their opinions which teaches them important skills such as debating, leadership and teamwork.

Additional Literacy and Numeracy programmes

I was really excited to be able to train in mental health first aid. I’m passionate about students and their learning so I’m really pleased to be able to add the extra support that most students need at some point in order to reach their full potential.
