Headteacher's Welcome

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Sarum Academy. Rooted in the values and traditions of the Church of England, our academy is a vibrant, inclusive, and nurturing community where every individual is valued and supported to achieve their full potential. Whether you are a prospective student, parent, or a member of our wider community, I am delighted you are exploring what makes Sarum Academy so special.

At Sarum Academy, we are inspired by the Church of England's vision for education: to provide a foundation for wisdom, hope, community, and dignity. These guiding principles, woven into our ethos, ensure that all we do is centred on creating an environment where each person can flourish in body, mind, and spirit.

Our core values—Respect, Ambition, and Excellence—reflect this vision.

Respect is at the heart of our community. We believe every individual is created in the image of God and has inherent worth and dignity. By fostering mutual respect, we create a safe and inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated, and kindness and understanding are central to how we treat one another.

Ambition speaks to our belief in the boundless potential of every child. We strive to nurture a spirit of hope and resilience, encouraging students to aim high and embrace challenges with courage and determination. In doing so, we equip them to contribute meaningfully to the world and fulfil their unique God-given talents.

Excellence reflects our commitment to delivering a rich and transformative education. Through high standards and a focus on lifelong learning, we inspire our students to achieve their best academically while growing spiritually and morally. Excellence at Sarum Academy is not just about personal success but also about living out values of service, generosity, and love for others.

Our staff are dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging, joy, and purpose for every student, ensuring that they are supported holistically—academically, emotionally, and spiritually. We are proud to offer a curriculum enriched by opportunities for creativity, exploration, and reflection, alongside a strong pastoral system that nurtures wellbeing and character development.

As a Church of England Academy, we encourage students to explore life’s deeper questions, develop moral courage, and grow in faith. Together, we seek to shape individuals who embody wisdom, compassion, and hope, making a positive difference in the world around them.

We warmly invite you to visit us and experience the spirit of Sarum Academy for yourself. Please explore our website to learn more, or better still, come and meet us in person. We look forward to welcoming you into the Sarum Academy family, where every member is cherished and supported to thrive.
