Principal’s Welcome
As the Principal of Ambleside Academy, I would like to welcome you to our website. Whether you are already part of our school community or an interested member of the wider community, we hope that you will find our website informative and interesting. Of course, if you are thinking of joining our school, we encourage you to arrange a visit so you can see in person what our amazing school has to offer.
Ambleside Academy aims to provide the very best standards of education for all children. Our staff team throughout school, from Nursery all the way up to year 6, are extremely dedicated to developing all children academically as well as socially and emotionally.
We have high expectations of all, and our children’s learning behaviours show they thrive and rise to the challenge daily. We aim for all children to develop a deep understanding and knowledge in all subjects to enable them to Dream, Believe and Shine for the next stage of their education and future. With the child at the centre, we provide an unapologetically ambitious curriculum, underpinned by essential qualities of empathy, ambition, confidence, curiosity, resilience, respect, kindness and gratitude. This allows our children to grow as individuals, learn how to support each other and be ready to thrive in our community as they grow.
At Ambleside Academy, we offer a safe and caring environment by listening to all children, so they know their voice is heard and valued. We provide an amazing package of wellbeing support for our children throughout school through our Wellbeing Team which consists of Learning Mentors, a School Counsellor, a Behaviour Therapist, Allotment Education and a staff team that care. We also work closely with parents/carers and governors so that all our children have an excellent educational journey. By working in partnership, we ensure all children are given the best opportunities to flourish and thrive.d
If you have any questions about joining Ambleside Academy, please contact the school office on 0115 900 3610 or via email at enquiry@ambleside.raleightrust.org.
I look forward to welcoming you into our school.
