The Dean Academy is a friendly school committed to core values of respect and responsibility. As a school community, it is our view that all young people have the right to learn in a calm environment. We offer high-quality pastoral support, which is a key factor in the academic success of our students and their personal progress and wellbeing. We want our students to develop a resilient approach to their learning and to become responsible, respectful and thoughtful citizens. We ensure that our students respect their school, the staff and the environment, as well as each other so that positive relationships are maintained.

On this page you will see all the incredible and exciting things that The Dean Academy has to offer. Our outstanding teachers are experienced in delivering a high-quality education within a wide and varied curriculum. We also have a strong pastoral and SEND team who are dedicated to ensure that all our students feel at home at The Dean Academy. Away from the classroom, we have an exciting House system where our students compete for house points in a variety of different subject competitions. Perhaps our most anticipated one is the House Tug of War where students and staff compete to win the House Cup! Additionally, we have an established Aspirations programme where students are pushed to help achieve and unlock their current and future goals. The Programme sees each year group having a chance to visit a reputable university, along with other exciting opportunities.

If you have any questions about the transition process, then please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me. My email is tfessey@thedeanacademy.org.
