Welcome to
The Canterbury Academy

The Canterbury Academy is committed to providing all our students with the very best education, whilst celebrating every child’s uniqueness, passions, gifts and talents.

At The Canterbury Academy we foster an environment where students value their education, grow in confidence and ambition, and are inspired to develop their talents and passions.

Our ambitious curriculum allows our students to experience a wealth of opportunities and participate in subjects from across our four pillars of excellence: Academic Learning, Performing Arts, Practical Learning and Enterprise Education, and Sport.

We are a fully inclusive school, providing three specialist resourced based provisions in autism, speech, language and communication need and for young people who are hearing impaired.

We strive to ensure that all students are supported and encouraged, to discover and refine their talents and be the best they can be.

We pride ourselves in excellent pastoral care, providing extensive support for our students, especially those new to the school.

We have a wide range of specialist staff to support students who need additional help as well as dedicated non-teaching pastoral staff to help manage any day-to-day worries and concerns of parents and children.

We are immensely proud of our beautiful community campus and incredible facilities. However, our absolute best asset is our students, and I would encourage you to visit the school to experience the warmth, sense of purpose and energy that characterise a typical school day for us here at The Canterbury Academy.
