To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware and Save A Life - see more here.
As a proud member of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust, Paignton Academy is a heavily oversubscribed 11-16 academy with over 1,500 students based on two sites: Waterleat Road and Borough Road. We are two sites but, crucially, one school.
At Paignton Academy, we seek to develop all students, both academically, socially, culturally and emotionally. During their time at this academy, we will ensure that students receive excellent teaching and learning within a highly disciplined but supportive environment so that your child has the very best opportunity to gain outstanding qualifications.
We are exceptionally ambitious and want our students to be able to experience the full range of opportunities open to them- both within their local environment but also nationally and internationally.
Mr D. Williams | Principal
We are determined that every young person is entitled to an excellent education and that everyone has a responsibility to play a part in this.
We are proud to be a part of the family of schools that comprises The Thinking Schools Academy Trust and firmly believe in our united vision; transforming life chances for all our students and young people.
Our curriculum focuses on cognitive education and utilises numerous tools and techniques to support lasting learning. Thinking Maps, keys, hats are all used throughout our school to further the development of our students.
