The Trust currently sponsors a number of secondary and primaries and Outwood Grange Academy has been a National Training School for nine years, having been accredited as one of the country’s first teaching schools.
Following the inspection of Outwood Academy Danum on 12th and 13th April 2016 the inspection team concluded that the Academy moved from Special Measures to Requires Improvement in all areas and Good in post 16. Now, as part of the Outwood Grange Academies Trust Family of Schools we are on a journey to become Outstanding.
We aim to:
- Provide students and staff with a learning community which is safe and secure.
- Provide students with opportunity to succeed and turn this into life chances.
- Provide students with a learning environment which encourages them to pursue career pathways that will ensure they are self-supporting citizens of the future. Provide education for all from age 11-19.
- Provide students with opportunities that will inspires, motivate and give all students access to a curriculum, both academic and through personal development, which allows them to achieve to their potential.

In 2016, 48% of students achieved A*-C in both English and Maths. 2017 sees the introduction of 9-1 system rather than A*-C. As an Academy we are predicting that many students will secure a 5 or beyond in both English and Maths
We are committed to providing high standards of education for students. Our Academy vision is ‘Students First.’ We put our students at the heart of everything we do, by focusing on ‘Raising Standards and Transforming Lives’. We simply believe that “the whole point of schools is that children come first and everything we do must reflect this single goal.”
