Mathematics Head of Department

Welcome from the Principal

As Principal of North Shore Academy, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you.

Our Academy is a vibrant, diverse and welcoming community, which is not only an outstanding place to learn but also work.

At North Shore, we unashamedly focus on the educational outcomes of our students. We believe that this is the intrinsic purpose of running a successful school and we are exceedingly proud that we achieve this by taking a truly child centred approach. Our students are the most important people in our building.

We are keen for everyone to understand our vision:

“We constantly focus on standards as we understand outcomes are paramount. Our decision making is driven entirely by what is best for children. By doing this we enhance the life chances of the children and young people in our care.”

Through our Enrichment Programme, we offer all students a wide array of opportunities to promote and develop additional skills by offering a wide variety of clubs, ranging from: competitive sports clubs to Knitting Nanas, drama to the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh Award, cooking to many others. Our Enrichment Programme is further complemented by many trips and visits throughout the year, including a whole year group residential to an outwood bounds centre.

Ultimately, we are incredibly proud of our school and the opportunities we offer all students. We welcome visitors throughout the year and school day to see the academy at its very best.
