Welcome to The Weston Road Academy. We are extremely proud of our school and new students, staff and visitors are always struck by the friendly, positive and hard-working atmosphere. Our ethos is built on traditional values such as respect, hard work, community, pride in our appearance and high expectations. We work together to instil an enjoyment in learning and strive to support each child. We work hard to develop their confidence and skills to be the best they can be and to reach their full potential. It is our pleasure to invite you to be a part of the exciting future of our academy. We are not just a school recognised by Ofsted as Good, we are also welcoming and caring, with the staff, ideas and a drive to continually improve. Our students leave us well qualified and proud of their achievements. We guide them to be mature, highly skilled and successful learners equipped for the fast paced modern society they will eventually join.
Since opening in 1979, as Weston Road High School we have continued to deliver an excellent education to students of all backgrounds and abilities, valuing the well-being of each pupil. Serving the community of East Stafford and nearby villages, our Academy is an ideal size – not so big that it is impersonal but large enough to offer a wide variety of courses and extra-curricular opportunities.
On 1st October 2011 we proudly became Stafford’s first academy. As a converter academy, The Weston Road Academy is answerable directly to the Department for Education and has used its freedoms to develop an innovative curriculum and pastoral care system. Inevitably, this document cannot convey the inspiring atmosphere and vibrancy of the academy and we invite you to visit us to find out first hand, why so many parents choose The Weston Road Academy as the preferred choice for their child’s secondary education.
