Headteacher's Welcome

Welcome to Furness Academy, where I am delighted to be the new Headteacher

At Furness Academy, we foster a strong, positive culture for learning and pride ourselves on the high expectations and standards that are maintained by all students. These expectations are here to support you in becoming the very best version of yourself.

When you visit Furness Academy, you will see that we are more than just a school. Underpinned by our core values of respect, responsibility and relationships, we encourage all our students to stay curious, be engaged, and aim high, be respectful, act responsibly, and always show kindness to others.

Our aim is simple but powerful: to send every student out into the world confident, prepared, and equipped with the values and character needed to succeed in any path they choose. During your child’s time with us, they will be grounded in the skills they need for adult life, supported by expert and caring staff in our world class facilities.

 

 

The strong sense of community, shared purpose, and commitment to the personal and academic growth of each student is what motivates me every day.

Furness Academy really is a special place, and I feel incredibly privileged to lead such a dedicated and talented team of staff who work hard to support our students. We take our responsibility seriously and are confident that if you choose Furness Academy as your child’s school, you will be impressed and pleased with your decision.

Our website is a small insight into what life is like at Furness Academy, but we do hope you will visit us and gain a fuller sense of the education and opportunities we offer to the young people in our care.

I am proud to be headteacher of Furness Academy and look forward to welcoming you into our Furness Family.
