Da Vinci Academy celebrates GCSE success
28 Aug 2026
I am very proud to be the Headteacher at the Da Vinci Academy and feel privileged to work with our students, staff, parents/carers, governors and a local community who all expect the very best from our academy. It is my commitment to ensure that alongside the staff body the highest standard of education is delivered to your child.
The Da Vinci Academy is part of L.E.A.D. Academy Trust and through a shared vision and values we are dedicated to continually improving the quality of education and are fully committed to ensuring all our students achieve their full academic potential, irrespective of starting point.
Our students are at the heart of everything we do. We firmly believe that every member of our community matters and is valued for the unique contribution they make to our academy.
The friendly and professional staff have high expectations of themselves and for our students, they work closely to share best practice and drive improvement. We continually strive for excellence in all aspects of academy life.
We do place great emphasis on our standards agenda: we have high expectations of our students in terms of their approach to their learning, their conduct and behaviour, their uniform, their attendance and punctuality and their involvement in the everyday life of the school. We expect our students to conduct themselves in a manner that benefits the school and creates a welcoming and respectful environment for all.
Thank you for taking the time to look around our website and I hope you enjoy discovering more about our great academy. I look forward to meeting and working with all parents and carers in your child’s educational journey.

🎓✨ We were delighted to welcome 113 students, many accompanied by their parents and carers, to our highly successful Post-16 Evening. The event provided students with the opportunity to explore a wide range of education, training and career pathways available after Year 11.
🌟 A particular highlight of the evening was hearing from our former students, who returned to share their experiences, career journeys and advice. Their presentations provided valuable insight and inspiration, helping current students to better understand the opportunities available to them and the steps needed to achieve their aspirations.
👏 Thank you to all the providers, staff, students and families who attended and contributed to making the evening such a success. Together, we are helping our students to Believe, Learn and Become. 💙💛

🚀🌌 Our students were taken on an incredible journey through space yesterday with the WonderDome Planetarium!
Travelling through the Milky Way, learning about signs of life on other planets and moons, and experiencing the wonders of the universe from inside a giant inflatable dome, students were fully immersed in the experience.
⭐ "It felt like we were actually on a spacecraft flying through space."
⭐ "Dennis used a laser pointer which made it easy to understand and follow what was going on."
We`re hoping to welcome Dennis back to Da Vinci Academy soon so that the sessions affected by the delay can still take place.
📸 Take a look at some of the highlights from the day!
