Message from the Principal
09/01/10
Maltby Academy opened its doors to staff, parents and students on the 4th January 2010. Unfortunately the plans for the first week of opening were somewhat disrupted due to the extreme weather conditions.
Our intention is to open the Academy fully on Monday 11th January, subject to weather conditions, and parents/carers should keep checking the website for updates. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and patience over this difficult period.
You will notice that we have launched a prototype of the MA website to give parents/carers and students an early viewing of the ‘new look' site. At this moment in time the content on the site is limited but version 2 will go live towards the end of the week and this will contain the new graphics and video clips prepared especially for the Academy launch.
Maltby Academy is not just another new school, it will provide the first class education that the young people of Maltby deserve, and will equip them with the attitudes, skills and knowledge that they will need to lead successful lives. Our ambition is to develop successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.
We are sponsored by u-explore and RMBC and together we have developed an exciting vision for the Academy with the ‘Business and Enterprise' specialism at the heart of its work. This specialism permeates through every aspect of life within Maltby Academy.
There are no secrets to excellent education, it entails good teaching and learning, strong support and hard work. Our target this year is for at least 59% of our students to gain five good GCSEs, including English and Maths, ensuring that we are in the top 25% of similar schools nationally.
We have retained our high quality staff team and managed to supplement this with a number of key appointments at all levels of leadership and management. Colleagues that have decided to join us share our commitment to become an outstanding school in the next three years.
Mr D.L. Sutton
Principal
