We are a vibrant, diverse and welcoming academy community, committed to securing our vision to bring the highest standards of education to the young people in our local area.
Students at this academy are supported both academically and pastorally. Student progress and attainment is measured regularly through data collections and meetings with key staff. All students are tracked individually with any interventions administered swiftly to ensure all students have the tools to succeed in the classroom.
The academy has a large Inclusion Team consisting of five Head of House leaders and then two to three non-teaching Behaviour Support Officers that work alongside other teams such as; Safeguarding, Wellbeing and Attendance. This ensures that any pastoral issues can be rectified early to ensure that all students feel safe in school and have the tools to succeed both academically and socially.
Tutor Groups
Each tutor group has at least one designated tutor that will get to know your child very well over their course of their studies. Sometimes there are two tutors linked to each group.
Concerns or queries you might have about your child can be directed to your child’s tutor. You can use student planners to contact your child’s tutor (these are checked weekly) or telephone the school directly.
You will also have opportunities to meet with your child’s tutor at regular points during the course of their first two years in the Academy.
The House System
In September 2024, we were excited to launch our new House System with staff and students.
All staff and students in the academy were allocated to either Billocca, Murdoch, Sullivan, Godber or Johnson House for the entirety of their school life. Each House has a ‘Head of House’ and also at least two Behaviour Support Officers to support our students.
The introduction of the House System was designed to give students a sense of belonging whilst attending Liberty Academy through collective responsibility and shared values. There are regular competitions between each house for things such as attendance, rewards points and uniform with the winning House receiving trophies and various prizes.
We also have a ‘Principal Point’ which Mrs Beasley will be distributing during her time around the academy and in lessons to students she feels have excelled in promoting our academy values.
