The City of Hereford is growing with a new University, a rapidly developing enterprise zone, new retail & leisure destinations and a thriving independent food & retail sector.

The Hereford Church of England Academy is part of the Diocese of Hereford Multi Academy Trust. The Trust and the school have new leadership and governance and are on a journey to rapidly improve outcomes for students.

The school building is modern with first class facilities, extensive sports provision including a 3G pitch and a dedicated drama & arts studio.

Our vision is to equip all our students to be well-rounded and caring citizens who will make a positive contribution to society. We do this by providing the best possible education and serving the whole community of all faiths and none.

The Academy’s most recent OFSTED inspection stated that the Academy is:

“The school is an attractive, calm and orderly place for pupils to study”

” Pupils trust adults to deal with problems when they arise, including bullying.”

 “Leaders have created an ethos of tolerance, respect and understanding throughout the school”

“Pupils, parents and staff say that pupils are safe and well cared for in the school. Inspectors agree.”
