At The John Wallis Church of England Academy, we are determined that all our children receive an excellent education which leads to real choices in life.

We offer our pupils and students an absolute commitment to excellence based on high-quality teaching and experiences beyond the classroom. As a Church of England Academy, we welcome those of all faiths and those with none.

As Principal, I see it as a privilege to work with such a dedicated staff team, such inspirational pupils and students and to serve this community. This is a happy, welcoming school and we pride ourselves on the relationships our staff have with our pupils and students, caring for them throughout their education from 0 to 19 years. We also work closely with families to ensure that all our pupils and students are committed to learning and develop the character necessary to take advantage of all the opportunities we provide. 

Our Academy has a reputation for delivering excellence. In 2015, the improvement in the Academy was commented upon in the House of Lords and since then the school provision and the outcomes for pupils and students have continued to improve. Our collective ambition is exceptionally high. We will not make excuses for failing to deliver on our commitment to excellence.
