WELCOME from the

EXECUTIVE PRINCIPAL

A very warm welcome to Small Heath Leadership Academy, where we are dedicated to providing educational excellence for all of our students and committed to helping them to reach their full potential. Through our vision of “Nurturing today’s young people, inspiring tomorrow’s leaders,” we aim to create an environment where all of our students can flourish and develop into confident and successful citizens.

At Small Heath, we provide high standards of education with a focus not only on academic achievements, but also on the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of our students. Our Academy’s STAR values of Service, Teamwork, Ambition and Respect are at the core of everything we do and are represented in the way staff and students model themselves.

We have a culture of high expectations and we continuously encourage our students to aspire to be the best they can be. This is developed through a strong and supportive system of pastoral care provided by a dedicated team of Pastoral Leaders and form tutors.

Our students benefit from an academic curriculum that enables them to achieve high standards and broaden their skills and experience through enrichment activities. We take a personalised approach, where students are set aspirational, but achievable targets through a curriculum pathway that meets their individual needs. We promote fundamental British values and develop students’ understanding of rights and responsibilities in a diverse and democratic society where they can make a positive contribution.

Being the Executive Principal of Small Heath Leadership Academy is a privilege for me. By working with all of our stakeholders and with the support of you as our parents, I believe that we can empower our students and make our Academy the beacon for our community.
