Welcome back everyone! At the start of the summer term, we are reflecting on the hard work which went on in our garden during spring. This is part of The Orchard, our safe supervised space for pupils with SEND to access when they need additional support or a quieter area. Mr Clay and our pupils were busy pruning, clearing debris, planting seeds and vegetables and watching their shoots grow – now we are excited for them to see the garden bloom and reap the rewards of their determination!

We’ve come to the end of another busy and exciting term, and we are so grateful as always for the support of our amazing community. Well done to our pupils for your efforts, and a special shoutout to all those who will be popping in during the holiday for some extra exam revision sessions. We hope everyone is able to enjoy some well-deserved rest over the next couple of weeks and we look forward to seeing you back on Tuesday 22 April.

Positive behaviour points awarded this year
Our pupils consistently achieve positive outcomes in both their GCSE and A Level studies. This academic excellence does not happen by accident; it is as a result of the highest expectations of all our pupils, students and staff. We work in partnership with pupils and parents/carers to ensure the very best academic achievements for all. We encourage pupils to have a love for learning. We believe we provide them with the right skills, aptitudes and an appetite for learning that will last for a lifetime.
We believe that a busy pupil is a successful pupil and to support this, offer a large number of extra-curricular activities, both at lunchtime and after academy lessons. These are wide-ranging and include Sports, Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Photography, IT clubs, Film clubs and many others.
We also have a fully stocked Learning Resource Centre which has books, reference materials and a number of computers for pupils to use to support their learning. We also operate a number of educational visits throughout the year, including residential trips abroad, to widen the pupil experience and develop their cultural awareness.
Pupils excel at Ossett Academy because we get them to believe in themselves. This encourages all pupils to realise their potential and achieve to the best of their ability. We also believe in promoting self-confidence to give young people the courage to accept new challenges. Finally, we constantly aim to develop self-aware and tolerant young people who will be responsible members of the local, national and international communities with a desire to promote equality and respect for other people and their environments.
