Welcome to the Swindon Academy webpage.

Swindon Academy opened on September 1st 2007, following the merger of the Pinehurst Infant, Pinehurst Junior and Headlands Secondary Schools. More recently Penhill Primary School has also joined us to become our Alton Close site.

This has been and still is an exciting time for all of us. We are the first 0 – 19 Academy in the country. This is a unique opportunity to be involved at the leading edge of educational development and regenerate a community which has been ill served for so long.

The sponsor of our Academy is The United Learning Trust who will work with our Corporate Sponsor, Honda. Both are very keen to involve staff in shaping our future, ensuring that we remain an inclusive school in the heart of its community.

This summers exam and key stage results have progressed to such an extent that we are now considered to be one of the most improved schools in the country. This is testament to the hard work and dedication of the staff who work at the Academy.

The next stages of our journey will continue to build on the successes of all four predecessor schools. All four sites have had recent successful Ofsted Inspections and results in all schools have risen to the best they have been in many years. This development is not, therefore, about failure but rather about success and the continuation of it given the challenges of the area.

We are looking to appoint committed, enthusiastic and talented teachers who relish the opportunity to be involved in a fast paced and innovative environment, making a significant difference to the lives of young people. We are a team which takes seriously the safeguarding of our children and young people.

In September 2009 students from our Beech Avenue site moved into our brand new building in the heart of the community. We are proud to be able to provide our students with state of the art facilities which will add value to and develop their learning further. In December years 7 – 13 will also move into the new building. This is a time for great excitement for our staff and students and we look forward to seeing our students thrive in their new surroundings.

If you would like to come and see us in operation at any time or come and discuss potential opportunities we may have please contact Victoria Cawley at Hays Education on 01793 538038.

Thank you
