We aim to be excellent and offer the best possible learning opportunities and support for young people so that they can be the best that they can be today, tomorrow and for the future. Our world is changing so quickly that we all need to learn new things if we want to be the best in all we do. 

‘I am proud to be the Chairman of The Ockendon Academy, which has gone from strength to strength contributing to its ‘Outstanding’ grade from Ofsted in 2007 and sustained in 2011’.

The Governing Body is focussed on standards and improving academic results but we are also committed to making sure our young people have other opportunities to enjoy life and work in The Academy. There is a lot on offer so please ask the staff and find out as much as you can so that we can work all together for the future.

We wish you every success and look forward to working with you.
