Recognising the hard work and efforts of pupils in their lessons, the academy puts learning and positive recognition of both staff and pupils, at the heart of its approach.

From securing academic success to securing success in extra-curricular activity, its staff are fully committed to ensuring that all pupils make the most of their time at Horbury Academy.
