About the Academy
We are a popular and heavily oversubscribed 11-16 mainstream school with additional expertise and facilities to include two focused SEND provisions for students on the autistic spectrum and for those who are deaf and hearing impaired (ARC and Deaf Academy). We have also developed an on-site base to support pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs. Our small and bespoke sixth form provision (WOA6) caters for students in Years 12 and 13 who have EHCPs. We are outward facing and work closely with the local community – families, schools, businesses and community groups – with whom we share a common priority: our pupils are front, back and centre of every decision we make at WOA.
