About Lakelands Academy
Lakelands Academy serves the expanding town of Ellesmere and a rural catchment area surrounded by beautiful Shropshire landscape, often referred to as the ‘Shropshire Lake District’. The town and surrounding villages offer a huge variety of attractions, activities and experiences and benefit from good communication links with the West Midlands, Manchester, Liverpool and Chester all of which are under an hour away by car.
We are a successful, popular and well-respected 11-16 academy with a unique ethos; believing that creating an atmosphere of trust and care is so conducive to effective learning. Visitors often remark on the ‘family feel’ of our academy and how welcoming staff and students are.
At Lakelands Academy, we aim to get the best for and from each student. We intend to enable each student to realise his or her full academic, creative and physical potential and to develop social and moral values. Our aim is to prepare students to be successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.
Our Academy is a community in which students, staff and parents are part of a happy, safe and caring environment. The academy was last inspected by Ofsted in June 2012 and was judged to be a “good school” where “relationships between teachers and students are strong and students are highly motivated to do well”.
We are a supportive learning organisation, not just for our students but also for our staff. We continually reflect on our own practice as teachers/leaders and recognise that we can all develop our professional skills, at any stage of our career. In doing so, we recognise that the most effective professional development occurs when teachers learn from, and with, each other.
Since converting to an academy in December 2012 funding secured from the Education Funding Agency has enabled the Academy realise its vision to embark on a programme of extension and site wide refurbishment to upgrade and extend the school’s facilities and significantly improve the school environment. This funding offers a unique opportunity for the academy to build on its current strengths and further improve the opportunities that are available to raise standards even higher whilst maintaining the same strong commitment to the highest academic standards.
