Firstly, can I take this opportunity to express my absolute gratitude to our exceptional students, who make working at The Gateway Academy a truly wonderful experience. Every day, we continue to reach new heights, and it is a testament to the culture, ambition, and commitment that exists across our academy.

We are increasingly welcoming visitors from other schools who come to see the outstanding work taking place here on so many levels. Most recently, we were delighted to host colleagues from BOA Academy, who commented:

“We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and came away with a wealth of ideas to reflect on for our own school. It was also truly heartening to see the journey the Trust has been on and to witness first-hand the profound impact it is having on the lives of the students it serves, both academically and in their wider development.”

What is clear is that, supported by our exceptional staff, our students are achieving success across a wide range of fronts. Our basketball teams are competing at a national level, academic achievement is above the national average, staff and student attendance continue to exceed national figures, and staff retention remains above 95%.

We are incredibly excited about how far we can go. We firmly believe our students have the heart, determination, and work ethic to compete with the very best — and the future of The Gateway Academy has never looked brighter.
