Headteacher's welcome

 

 

 

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Manor Drive Secondary Academy and to share our vision for an inspiring, ambitions and nurturing educational experience.

Choosing the right secondary school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent or carer.  I know that families seek not only high academic achievement but also a school that challenges and excites students through a broad, engaging curriculum and a wealth of extracurricular opportunities.  Just as importantly, you want an environment where your child feels safe, happy and empowered to thrive.  

At Manor Drive Secondary Academy, we are committed to exceeding these expectations.  As a dynamic and innovative school, we are built on strong, traditional values: high standards, exceptional teaching, and a deep commitment to student wellbeing.  Our ethos centres on ensuring every student makes outstanding progress through the highest quality of teaching and learning.  As recognised in our recent Ofsted inspection, we have 'high expectations' and 'make clear our high ambition for learning'.  Our students enjoy a rich, broad curriculum that fosters intellectual curiosity and personal growth, providing them with the knowledge and skills to embrace their future with confidence.

Beyond the classroom, we offer a wide range of opportunities designed to inspire and challenge our students.  Whether through  academic enrichment, creative pursuits, or physical activities, our goal is to ignite new passions and broaden aspirations.  Our state-of-the-art facilities provide the perfect setting for students to explore their interests, achieve their full potential, and celebrate their successes.

We believe that education is a partnership between school, home and the wider community.  Open, supportive communication with parents and carers is at the heart of what we do, and we encourage you to engage with us - whether for guidance, reassurance, or to celebrate your child's achievements.  Together, we can ensure the best possible experience for every student in our care.

I understand that choosing a newly established school may feel like a leap of faith, but I assure you it is a decision you will not regret.  Since embarking on this journey in June 2018, my passion and commitment to creating an exceptional educational experience for the young people of Peterborough have only grown stronger.  As part of the Four Cs Multi-Academy Trust, we are supported in our mission to provide an inspiring, transformative education for every student who walks through our doors. 

I hope this give you a sense of our Academy's vision and aspirations.   I look forward to meeting you and your child and welcoming you into the Manor Drive community.

Warm regards

Jo Sludds
