Worden is the only school in South Ribble to have 100% of its pupils achieving five or more A*-C grades at GCSE for two consecutive years.
Academy@Worden is an outstanding school where:
- All pupils achieve and are recognised as unique individuals with specific talents and needs. Students only get one chance and we take very seriously our role of providing the best possible opportunities for them to gain the most from their time here.
- Excellent teaching encourages intellectual, creative, technological and physical growth. We aim to develop our students’ ability to think independently, solve problems, communicate effectively and live happy and fulfilling lives.
- Students are motivated and recognise the joy of achievement in a safe and orderly environment.
- Parents are encouraged to take an active part in their child’s education and in the life of the school in general.
