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.

🌟 Best Food Forward – Week 4: The Final Week! 🌟
What an amazing way to finish our 4-week Best Food Forward programme at the School of Artisan Food! 👩🍳✨
This week, our students explored low-cost food choices, affordability and food availability, thinking about how we can create nutritious and delicious meals while working within a budget.
The students made homemade wholemeal turkey burgers with homemade vegan mayonnaise and ketchup, followed by delicious carrot bundt cakes. 🍔🥕🍰
It has been such a fantastic four weeks, with our students developing new practical skills, building confidence and trying foods and techniques.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this opportunity possible — what an incredible experience! ❤️👩🍳
