WELCOME

E-ACT PARKER ACADEMY

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.

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.
