We offer an exceptional academic and extracurricular experience at Samuel Whitbread Academy in an outstanding learning environment where students are expected to work hard and achieve their best. In our last Ofsted inspection, we were judged as ‘Good’ with many outstanding features. 

A modern and inclusive education with solid traditional British values of fairness, equality, tolerance and respect for our shared history and democratic rule of law. Our vision is a simple one – a truly great education for every child so that they can become happy, successful, positive and fulfilled adults.

We are a thriving, happy and successful school.  Our emphasis is on high academic standards and developing in children the character and resilience they will need to contribute to a fast changing world.  We have great facilities and our teachers are of the highest quality.  We value each child and provide them with the opportunity to fulfill their potential and enjoy learning.  We  strive to offer them an extensive range of opportunities in, and beyond, the classroom as part of a caring Community that values the individual.

BEST Nurseries provide first class, family orientated sessional and day care which is accessible to all.  We recognise that an appropriate and positive nursery experience will help children feel confident as they begin their educational journey. Ofsted awarded the nursery a judgement of ‘outstanding’ in May 2016 and observed ‘Children of all ages flourish in this highly stimulating environment’.

BEST Nurseries works in partnership with Gothic Mede Academy to provide sessional or full day care in a first class learning environment. Teaching utilises the expertise of both qualified teachers and specialised, highly qualified early years practitioners.  Great importance is placed on the aspiration to help all children to reach and exceed their potential.
