At Excelsior our core purpose is to ensure that school is a safe, happy and inspiring environment so that young people achieve good outcomes that  enhance their life chances.

Excelsior Academy is a thriving community, educating children and young people from their earliest learning experiences through to their 6th form graduation. On our unique site, we offer Nursery, Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form provision. Each phase has a family feel, where our pupils feel safe, comfortable and confident to achieve their potential.

Generous support from our sponsor Laidlaw Schools Trust, enables us to offer our pupils a wide range of opportunities beyond the curriculum. Our ambition is to ensure that our pupils benefit from this wide range of experiences to help prepare them for their lives after school. We also work closely with our local community and business partners to develop exciting opportunities for our young entrepreneurs, artists, performers and sportspeople.

Our Vision

We will build positive relationships with parents and carers to ensure that your child fulfils their potential through high quality care and education.

We will nurture aspiration in your child through our wide range of opportunities in the classroom and beyond.

We will develop and encourage your child to become a respectful and compassionate global citizen, embracing our shared British values.
