Welcome to the Archbishop Sentamu Academy.
Our aim is to bring the highest standards of education to the young people in our local area.
It is a great honour to be the Headteacher at Archbishop Sentamu Academy. I was born less than a mile away from our academy and see it as my job to ensure all students achieve the best outcomes possible.
Archie has a very strong family tradition. We offer excellent pastoral support and a structured house system to ensure our students are well cared-for. This approach extends all the way into our highly successful Sixth Form, where students are equally well-guided and supported.
Whilst we insist on rigorously high academic standards for all, we also focus on developing the whole student and promoting their well-being. We are therefore proud to run scholarship schemes in Rugby, which is becoming one of the best in the country, as well as our Spotlight Drama Scholarship scheme; their performance of Ocho gained both national and international acclaim.
Be assured that I want exactly the same high standards for your children as for my own. By offering inspirational teaching and a wide range of extra-curricular activities, I strive therefore, with all my staff, to ensure that they are safe, happy and given every chance to flourish in all aspects of their lives.
I look forward to working with you all to ensure we achieve this.
Mr Chay Bell – Academy Principal
“We are happy with his progress and his confidence has grown since starting”
“The open evening had the ‘wow’ factor. My son didn’t want
to leave; I’ve never seen him so enthusiastic about school.”
“We are happy with his progress and his confidence has grown since he started.”
“He is proud to attend this school and we are proud he is able to be part of Team Archie.”
“I have a Year 6 going up to Archie in September. We couldn’t be happier, she’s been to the school and I know pupils who go now and I have heard nothing but great reports.”
“The staff are very open and communicative. My son was even given extra tuition by a teacher in her own time after he had been off school ill.”
“All the 6th formers I know have done amazing and thanks to Archie they are well prepared for the next chapter of their lives”
“I would like to thank everyone at Archie; teaching and support staff for helping our daughter to achieve her very best”
“The teaching and support has been outstanding over the last 7 years and I’m glad we chose
your school.”
