From the Thistley Hough Academy
Being the Principal of this magnificent Academy, where we help every student reach their best potential, makes me feel incredibly proud. We are a lively, forward-thinking community that fervently believes every student deserves the best possible education. All students should receive an equitable education, and I firmly believe that a student's postcode should not affect the learning standard they receive or their future expectations. Our Academy has been and is still on a path to ensuring that all students have access to excellent educational opportunities. I am optimistic about the future and steadfast in my conviction that Thistley Hough Academy will succeed thanks to our unwavering ambition for each and every student. Along with encouraging academic performance, our academy has made pride, respect, and devotion its slogan. Our high expectations for behaviour allow teachers to teach freely, and children can cultivate a lifetime love of learning in a safe, encouraging environment. Our students' achievement and development as responsible, productive young adults who contribute to our community and beyond are at the core of everything we do. We provide a wide choice of extracurricular activities, travels, and visits both domestically and abroad, giving students the chance to develop the soft skills that are so crucial to their personal growth. It is a delight to work with them to help them realise their dreams and aspirations because we want all of our students to be successful and happy during their time with us. I cordially encourage you to stop by, experience our Academy community, and take a tour of our world-class facilities by attending one of our open events.
