Welcome to the Crest Academy. We are a non-denominational, non-selective academy open to girls and boys from all backgrounds aged 11 to 18. We are proud to be a part of the E-ACT network of schools. Our beautiful building, state of the art facilities and outstanding educational resources provide exceptional opportunities for students. In addition we have spacious, modern classrooms, laboratories, workshops and studios and 2 full sized sports halls with additional outdoor facilities.
At The Crest Academy we believe that the academy should take its rightful place in the community as a centre of excellence and first choice place of education.
We believe that The Crest Academy will transform students’ life chances by preparing them for university or the careers of their choice and prepare them to become leaders, enabling them to positively contribute to their communities.
Everything we do at the academy is underpinned by our core values of:
We believe that students at the academy deserve the very best educational provision and we are committed to providing this in an environment which develops leadership and ambition.
Our vision for learning at The Crest Academy reflects the high expectations and aspirations have. At Crest, learning and teaching is our ‘core business’, it underpins all that we do, as we appreciate that an excellent education is the key to unlocking excellent futures for the learners in our care. Our vision for learning and teaching is built on a desire to deliver high quality, transformational education to the learners that we teach; every day, in every lesson, in every classroom.
At Crest, we strive to equip our students with the skills that they need to be lifelong learners and prepare to be successful in their future lives. Our aim is to ensure that we constantly reflect as practitioners to ensure that we are seeking for the key levers to drive forward exceptional progress for the learners in our care.
To ensure that all lesson across the academy are at the expected level lessons are planned according to the Crest Essentials. The Crest Essentials are a set of expectations or features that have to be present in all lessons.
We provide clear instructions about how students can demonstrate their new knowledge. Check students’ progress and understanding through suitable activities that gauge the progress of all students. Provide opportunities for students to review their own learning based on the lesson objectives and success criteria.
As part of the wider school, the Academy’s Sixth Form is a popular option for many of our Year 11 leavers, but also increasingly attractive to students from the wider community. It is our belief that every student’s learning journey with us is not simply about an excellent set of exam results but that every student is ready for university and every student is a leader.
Make a positive comment to the class or individual students about their behaviour for learning and/or learning and progress. Achievement points can be awarded as a result.
Dismiss the class, in silence, one small group at a time, checking uniform as they leave the classroom.
During year 7 to year 9 students are in Key stage 3. Pupils experience a broad and balanced curriculum. Pupils study English, Maths, Science, PE, Music, Art, Languages, Geography, History, Religious Studies, IT, Design and Technology and PSE.
Additionally, students that are new to the country and whose first language is not English will continue on a curriculum pathway with English as an additional language lessons designed to support students develop their English language acquisition skills.
Between December and January students will receive information on the subjects on offer at Key Stage 4. Pupils will be on 1 of 3 pathways designed based on their prior attainment and progress since starting at the Academy.
During Year 10 and 11 students are in Key stage 4. Pupils will experience a core curriculum of English, maths, science and PE (non-examined). Students will select their option subjects in Year 9 and these will be studied until the end of Year 11. The options process is a guided process based on your child attainment data and students will select from a suite of subjects available to them.
When pupils join the academy they will complete two years of study in year 12 and 13 to prepare them for university or beyond. The Academy currently offers a range of subjects including resit English and mathematics. As the Sixth form expands we are continuously reviewing the subjects on offer and adding additional subjects for pupil selection.
