Your Education, Your Way

At Blackwater Academy Stetchford, we believe that every student deserves an education that meets their unique needs, abilities, and aspirations. Our ethos, “Your Education, Your Way,” reflects our commitment to providing bespoke educational packages that ensure all students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Tailored Education Packages

We offer a comprehensive range of qualifications, including GCSEs and vocational courses, to suit diverse learning pathways. Each student’s journey is carefully tailored to their individual goals, strengths, and interests, empowering them to achieve their full potential.

Holistic Support

To complement our educational provision, we provide personalised mentoring sessions and in-house counselling services. These initiatives enable us to monitor and support the mental health, social, and emotional well-being of our students. Our wrap-around care ensures that every young person has the resources they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.

Community Engagement

At Blackwater Academy Stetchford, we understand the importance of giving back and fostering a sense of responsibility. Our students actively participate in community initiatives such as:

Litter picking to improve the local environment

Feeding the homeless and supporting those in need

Donating hampers to local hospices

These activities not only build character but also prepare our students to become compassionate and engaged members of society.

Preparing for the Future

Our ultimate goal is to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to take their next steps, whether in further education, employment, or other life pursuits. At Blackwater Academy Stetchfordl, we strive to inspire every young person to embrace their potential and make a positive impact in the world.

Welcome to our school

At our school we know that it is the people that matter the most. We know that what we need to create is a climate and a culture that enables everyone to feel happy and safe in an exciting place to learn.

Since becoming the Headteacher at Blackwater Academy myself and my team of staff have worked very hard to develop a new ethos for the school.
Our school has four new core values: Respect, Integrity, Commitment and Teamwork. Every member of our school is expected to try their hardest to carry out these values every minute of every day.

We believe passionately in our students, we know that with the right support here, and at home, they can achieve great things. They have to believe in themselves and strive for success. This includes accepting the need for the highest standards of attendance, behaviour and always being ready to learn. We insist that every member of our school community works as hard as he or she can, without exception.

Our aim here is to provide all our learners with an exciting, bespoke, coherent and inspirational curriculum taught by truly talented, professional and hardworking staff. We wish to create a culture that is inclusive, and where the individual and diverse talents of all our students are nurtured and celebrated.

We want to encourage every member of our school community to develop a love of learning. Our aim will always be to do all we can to enable everyone to reach the highest standards of which they are capable. We are committed to ensuring our students are happy, safe and have clear direction and support.

Self-belief, confidence and being proud of our own achievements are the keys to success. The best academic outcomes always occur where a true partnership has been established between home, school and the young person – all of us working together to strive for the best possible education.

I look forward to working with you.
