WELCOME TO ATTLEBOROUGH ACADEMY 

Attleborough Academy is an inclusive, friendly and effective learning community with high aspirations and a reputation for innovation. Excellent relationships between students and staff are at the heart of the Academy and are often commented on by our visitors. We are a hard-working and caring community of people with high standards, high expectations and strong core values: 

• Commitment 
• Acknowledgement 
• Respect 
• Excellence 

CARE has a genuine meaning within our community, as we want the Academy to be a place where these values are seen in all aspects of our work together. 

Our greatest assets are our students. A team of Sixth Form Presidents oversee our newly created Students’ Union, and take a prominent role in the leadership of the Academy. They do this by providing good examples of behaviour and learning to our younger students, and by engaging with them and the community outside our gates in a mature and responsible way. 

Our core purpose is to achieve the best learner outcomes. For a student to be ‘successful’ though, we believe it is far more than just attaining results. Whilst we recognise the great importance of qualifications, we are not just a ‘results factory’. We take our roles as educators very seriously and so it is our aim to assist parents and carers to educate the ‘whole child.’ We want them to become a well-rounded member of the community. We know that when they leave us, they need to be able to compete in a globally competitive and challenging world, but they should also have become an admirable person and a conscientious citizen. 

Having recently joined Sapientia Education Trust, in June of 2020, we are part of a network of schools who put the children at the centre of all that we do. With strong links to Wymondham College, our Sixth Form is able to offer a broad curriculum to suit our students and to support the needs of our community. We look forward to welcoming you to our family.

Executive Principal
