About our Academy

At Hartshill Academy we have high expectations of ourselves. Kindness, gratitude and our HART values of Heart, Ambition, Respect and Tenacity underpin everything we do. We reflect on our HART values and how we can develop each day to ensure we are always challenging ourselves to be even better today than yesterday. We know that our daily practices become our habits, our habits become our character and our character is who we are.

We have an aspirational knowledge rich curriculum for all pupils. Our staff work collaboratively across the Trust to innovate and plan exciting and inspiring learning, enabling our pupils to leave Hartshill Academy with a lifelong love of learning. We ensure there is high challenge and high support for all pupils to ensure they can access and make excellent progress in all lessons. We work hard to ensure all pupils reach their full potential and leave Hartshill Academy with the skills and knowledge to make informed decision about their next steps. We have an excellent pastoral team who work closely with our families to ensure all pupils are supported so they can arrive to lessons ready to learn and make the most of the opportunities available to them each day. 

In September 2023 we will be moving into a new £30 million building as one of the first schools to benefit from the Government’s national School Rebuilding Programme. The redevelopment project will deliver a brand-new facility that is fit for 21st century teaching with a target to be net zero carbon in operation.
