From the John Locke Academy
I'm delighted to welcome you to the John Locke Academy. On the former grounds of the RAF Uxbridge, this academy is a brand-new primary school in the city. This is the start of a journey that will create a welcoming, devoted, and aspirational centre of learning. We are eager to get to know the local families who presently reside there as well as those who will be relocating there to live on St. Andrew's Park. We are building a primary school at the John Locke Academy that makes learning compelling. We want visitors to the school to experience the energetic, focused buzz of students engaged in their studies, to witness teachers making the most of every learning opportunity, and to interact with parents who are proud of their children's accomplishments. Our goal is to offer every student, regardless of where they are academically, an education that matches their requirements. Given the proper curriculum, environment, and support, we think students can achieve their full potential. In order to realise this potential, it is critical that parents and the school have a good working relationship. In order for kids to work hard and play pleasantly, we want to make sure they feel protected and appreciated. Every youngster will have the chance to excel. We look forward to sharing the journey with you and I hope that our website provides you a flavour of life at our school.
