Welcome to Wixams Academy
We are delighted to welcome you to Wixams Academy. We set out to offer the very best for all our pupils, both academically and to develop them as individuals. Wixams Academy is a place where we celebrate both inclusivity and diversity. We are exceptionally proud of our academy, and will continually look to inspire ambition in our pupils to always work hard and be kind to each other.
It is an exciting time across the Academy, in 2024 we move into the second stage of our brand-new teaching block and sports facilities. This will enable us to build on the fantastic GCSE results pupils gained in 2023 and offer even more opportunities beyond the classroom through our rich and varied extra-curricular offer.
We are in the very heart of Wixams, and this is reflected in the community feel within our academy. We have an energetic and talented staff committed to the achievement of our young people. Everyone has a part to play at Wixams and everyone is listened to. If we or our team can help in any way then please do feel free to contact us.
Hywel Jones – CEO, BCAT and Chris Stainsby – Interim Principal, Wixams Academy
