Executive Principal's Welcome
Welcome to Lodge Park Academy
At LPA we have a strong sense of purpose and are fervently committed to the achievement of every individual.
We aim to provide a high-quality education for the 11-18 year olds in our local area in a happy, caring and focused environment. We encourage all students to embody our values of ambition and aspiration, resilience and respect, and courage and gratitude.
The vision we are passionately committed to providing is an exciting education where there is a relentless focus on high quality teaching and learning, a commitment to a broad and balanced curriculum and an absolute dedication to providing a wide range of opportunities that allow students to excel at what they are good at and enjoy as well as developing new talents, supported by excellent pastoral care.
Students will gain transferrable life skills and they will know that they can positively shape their lives through choice not chance. As a school community we are energised and motivated by the prospect of changing lives, of raising community-wide aspiration and improving the life chances for all students.
We are student and learning focused. There are no limits to outstanding learning and outstanding achievement. Students staff, governors and parents are totally focused on developing and improving the learning of the students underpinned by positive and respectful relationships. We have high expectations of our students, high aspirations for them and demonstrate complete belief in them.
Building strong partnerships with parents is essential to realising a student’s potential so we hope you will join our Parents Working Party and that we have the opportunity to meet you in the future.Mrs S Jones
At Lodge Park, we recognise our critical role in readying a generation for the 21st century workplace, in one of the fastest growing towns in the UK. We know that to be successful, a learner needs not only strong outcomes, but are also resilient, respectful and courageous. We are proud of the fact that our curriculum within and beyond the classroom arms them with the academic and personal attributes to make a difference to their lives and their community, and that learners have the opportunities to excel beyond academia into sports, the arts and an exploration of the world around them.
We dream big at Lodge Park for every one of our learners. Our aspiration knows no bounds, and my team do all that is in their power to support each and every learner to reach their potential. Our aim is to arm every one of our learners with a dream, and then the tools they need to chase that dream, and leave Lodge Park with a life full of open doors of oppurtunity.
We do that by insisting on the highest standards of conduct, attendance and punctuality. We ensure pride and care are the hallmarks of every lesson, book and task. We ensure our pastoral systems and personnel are caring and supportive, and that relationships between learners and adults are empowering and mutually respectful. We build the mindset of a champion in our learners, insisting on a 'no excuse' culture and a recognition of the resilience and sacrifice required to make it to their aspiration. We aim to provide a world-class standard of teaching, a curriculum that excites and an environment that inspires.
Above all, Lodge Park is a family. Like all families, we support one another and enable one another to be better in an environment that is safe and happy. We only want the best for our family, and will do what is right, even if it is not what is easy or comfortable.
Lodge Park is an academy proud of it's heritage and it's alumni. We're proud to walk in the footsteps of those before us and hope to emblemise their same pride, resilience and sacrifice. We aim to honour their legacy by readying the next generation to change their, and our, world.
