About Sir Thomas Wharton Academy

Sir Thomas Wharton Academy is a good secondary school of over 1100 students with a thriving and growing collaborative Post 16 provision. The Academy joined Maltby Learning Trust on 1st April 2017 and secured an OFSTED Good judgement in September 2021. We are now oversubscribed each year and we are very fortunate to be housed in a new building with state-of-the-art facilities.

We pride ourselves on the aspirational, supportive, and caring community we have at Sir Thomas Wharton Academy. Our team of dedicated staff ensure that students feel safe and receive the best pastoral and academic support and challenge throughout their time in the school. We further develop the cultural capital of students through a comprehensive programme of extra-curricular activities and broader enrichment opportunities.

We take an inclusive approach that maintains a focus on the wellbeing and progress of every child; we provide a safe place for learning through the application of our positive behaviour system and attention to individual student circumstances and needs. We firmly believe that students will ultimately achieve better results by establishing a positive and supportive partnership between parents/carers and teachers.

Our students are our biggest strength, they are honest, hardworking, aspirational, and willing to take themselves out of their comfort zone.

Our outcomes have significantly improved, this has been realised in part through a relentless focus on the six key drivers of:

· The Highest Standards

· Invest To Achieve

· Everyone Is Valued

· No Excuses

· Never Give Up

· Cultivate Your Character

Ofsted - Good in all areas
