From the The Premier Academy
In 2010 we became the first outstanding school in England to convert to being a self-regulating, autonomous Academy and whilst we have always done things differently to other schools, academisation really allowed the creative thinking of the team to be unleashed. This of course started with the fifth name change in the school’s history. We could have played it safe, and stuck with Eaton Mill Academy but that isn’t our style as anyone who has ever attended a community event at the school will confirm.
The style which has served us well so far is one of constant evolution whilst trying to keep things simple so as the first outstanding convertor in the country what better name could there have been than, The Premier Academy?
Premier of course means ‘first’ but it also means ‘best’ and I am pleased to say that we now have some of the best academic results in the country, the most amazing facilities that you will ever see in a primary school and most importantly we provide our services to over 700 clients, also known as TPA children.
It really is true that every child deserves a great start in life and at TPA that start is guaranteed.
