A Welcome Message from our Headteacher

Q3 Academy Tipton is a large, diverse, and exciting secondary school in the Black Country. We are growing in size, ambition and influence; all aspects of the school are rapidly improving. Our December 2022 Ofsted Inspection very rightly celebrated our warm, caring and inclusive community, recognised the incredible improvement journey we have been on as well as identifying appropriate next steps.

“Leaders have high expectations for pupils at Q3 Academy Tipton. They want all pupils to ‘live life to the full in pursuit of what is good, right, and true’. Pupils understand these expectations and appreciate the positive environment. Teachers treat pupils as individuals, and pupils welcome this. Pupils feel confident to ‘be themselves’ in this inclusive community. Pupils say that behaviour has ‘significantly improved’, and they feel safe in school.” Ofsted, 2022.

Our staff are highly committed and we invest in professional learning and development whilst striving to make the workplace as family friendly as we can, always seeking ways to reduce workload and enhance work-home balance. Our leadership is highly ethical, trusting and we value a diverse workforce. We are building an innovative and transformative curriculum that engages and interests children whilst equipping them with the knowledge and skills for academic and personal success. Our academy is on a journey of rapid improvement and if you join us you will be investing in something of genuine value that will transform the futures of our young people. Come and meet us.
