Academy 360 is an all-through school, serving the local community of Pennywell in Sunderland. Many of our children join us in Reception, at the age of four, and our oldest students leave us at the age of 16.

At Academy 360 we have a passion for learning and the highest aspirations for all our students, to ensure they are prepared for the world of work or for further studies, ultimately leading to university. We want our students to leave us inspired to be leaders in their community and beyond.

We offer our students a first-class education based on high-quality teaching and a range of experiences outside of the classroom. Our curriculum aims to provide a broad and inspiring academic experience, which is interesting, challenging and relevant to the needs and aspirations of our students.

We also value the importance of providing a range of life experiences, developing social and leadership skills, independent learning, and supporting our students to develop and thrive in new environments.

In addition, we aim to remove barriers for students, supporting them to become successful in their chosen fields after they have transitioned to the next stage of their education or vocational careers.

As Principal, I am privileged to work with a team of exceptional practitioners who are determined to ensure that our children realise their potential and pursue the career path of their choice.

We want all of our young people to enjoy school and achieve well; we pride ourselves on providing an inspiring learning environment and encouraging our students to access all the opportunities that we provide. Our staff nurture positive relationships, caring for students throughout their education, to ensure that they emerge from secondary education as dynamic individuals who are well-prepared for the 21st-century world of work and the challenges that it presents.

We very much welcome your feedback and I strongly encourage you to arrange a visit to Academy 360 so you can experience the richness of our school first-hand.

Mr D Amos

Principal
