Welcome to the “Archie” family
Archie is the spirit of the Archbishop Sentamu Academy, reflecting its vision and underpinning its values.
We believe that everyone has unique, God-given talents and gifts; everyone can achieve and everyone can be extraordinary.
Being a part of Archie means that together, we can achieve more, and that to be truly successful you have to aim high and work hard in teams, as well as individually.
Archie cares for the spiritual and physical well-being of students and staff by aiming to:
Aspire – raise aspirations and achievement for all.
Serve – nurture confident, open-minded young people with a “can-do” attitude and an articulate voice on their community and their future.
Achieve – encourage a love of learning, eagerness to succeed and willingness to participate.
Archie aspires to help students achieve “excellence” as a norm.
We are caring, inclusive and proud of our Christian ethos. From day one, our students are taught that if they serve each other and work together, they can achieve far more that by working alone. We recognise that every student may need some special support during their time with us, so we ensure that students have access to a mentor if they would like one. This ensures they have everything they need to stay on track, and to achieve.
We invite you to join us in developing the “Archie Family” spirit and taking your place at the heart of a loyal community.

“All the 6th formers I know have done amazing and thanks to Archie they are well prepared for the next chapter of their lives”
