Description

Welcome to The Cornerstone Academy, a small, friendly secondary school that believes that high quality education lies at the heart of its community.

Students at the academy enjoy coming to school and want to do well.

This ethos has been accomplished through a shared belief, by both staff and students, in high expectations, positive relationships, and enthusiasm in teaching and learning.

Here at The Cornerstone Academy, we believe that all students deserve the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their background.

Through constant support and challenge, we achieve this aim.

People often say, after their first visit, how distinctive the academy is, how pioneering we are and yet also how our care and compassion clearly permeates through everything we do.

Imagine then, how transformative that environment is for the children who study and grow into adults here.
