About Warden Park Academy
Warden Park Secondary Academy (WPSA) is a mixed, non-selective, non-denominational secondary school situated in Cuckfield, West Sussex. There are approximately 1,500 students at the school from 11-16 years.
Values and vision
Through our curriculum we aim to personally empower students by developing in them the ability to act in pursuit of positive personal fulfilment.
Our approach is underpinned by a belief that:
- Strong academic outcomes provide students with the foundation to excel in the next and future stages of their learning.
- Highly developed character attributes provide students with the means to develop positive emotions, engage meaningfully, build and sustain positive relationships, find purpose and meaning in their lives and feel a sense of accomplishment.
There is a strong focus in the academy on developing excellent teacher practice. We are a research driven learning institution and our professional development is focused on reviewing best practice and carrying out our own research in order to improve the quality of teaching in our classrooms. Being professionally curious and keen to build strong professional relationships with colleagues are important characteristics that we seek and these are evident in the teachers that thrive here. It is equally important that teachers are able to capture and excite the imagination of students through their subject teaching, role modelling academic excellence and good character.
The academy is part of Sussex Learning Trust, a growing MAT of both primary and secondary schools across West Sussex.
