Located in the town of Congleton, Cheshire, Eaton Bank Academy is a co-educational secondary school. With around 750 pupils aged 11-18, Eaton Bank Academy is smaller than the average school of its type, with the sixth form being responsible for around 120 of these. Eaton Academy was only founded in the year 2000, following a re-organisation of a number of other local schools. In 2012, the school converted to an academy, but is not part of any multi-academy trust. Owing to its relatively recent founding, the school can boast of a wide range of modern sports facilities, including tennis courts, a gymnasium and a fully equipped sports hall.

Values and Vision

Eaton Bank Academy maintains a close working relationship with parents, in order to ensure that they are properly able to guide their child’s learning and give them support outside of school. As for the students themselves, Eaton Bank Academy encourages them to have high expectations of both themselves and their school, and to guide their own learning. This is intended to best prepare them for life in the world of work, and to this end the school also works hard to offer a wide variety of both vocational and academic subject at Key Stage 4 and sixth form. 

Ofsted

“The quality of teaching has improved rapidly since the last inspection and is now consistently good across a wide range of subjects. Teachers have high expectations of students, and students themselves demonstrate sustained engagement in their learning. They make good progress.”
