It is a privilege to welcome you to the Deanery Church of England Academy. We are an Academy within The Park Academies Trust, dedicated to nurturing and inspiring every student to reach their fullest potential. There is a commitment to providing a holistic education that not only emphasises academic excellence but also offers abundant enrichment opportunities. Guided by the core values of wisdom, hope, service, and resilience, the academy strives to create a supportive and inclusive community where every individual is valued and empowered to flourish.

The academy's mission is encapsulated in the biblical verse, "A tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruits in season" (Psalm 1:3), symbolising the nurturing environment that helps students grow and succeed. We are an excellent choice as an educational institution for your child, blending a rigorous academic program with a holistic focus on the whole child. This approach ensures that students develop essential life skills such as communication, exploration, discernment, and perseverance through enriching activities.

At the heart of the academy's vision are the core values of wisdom, hope, service, and resilience. In alignment with the Church of England's education strategy, the academy promotes an education that empowers children, young people, and adults to live out 'life in all its fullness.' The academy believes in an education that enables every individual to flourish in the broadest sense, helping students to grow in wisdom, cultivate a wide-ranging knowledge that broadens life chances, develop spiritual, intellectual, and emotional resources, and nurture character to live well together in the community.

The academy cultivates a love of learning and curiosity, encouraging students to become lifelong learners who continuously seek knowledge and personal growth. It promotes a sense of community and social responsibility, encouraging students to contribute positively to society and understand the importance of service. The academy creates an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and respected, regardless of their belief, background, or culture. Students are encouraged to be informed, compassionate and active global citizens who appreciate diversity and are committed to making a difference to the world.

This website should provide answers to the majority of your questions about the academy. However, we are very happy to host personal visits and this will give you the confidence that what we describe is the daily reality of the academy.
