Information about the school

We are delighted to welcome you to Leigh Academy Hundred of Hoo All Through Academy. The Leigh Academy Hundred of Hoo is quickly becoming known as a centre with high expectations, high standards and high achievements. Throughout every part of our Academy we are committed to the learning, development and future opportunities of all our young people, supporting our vision of creating a community that aspires to the highest standards, achieves to the best of our ability, and excels in all that we do.

We as an academy are student centred, so all our efforts, our work and our endeavours revolve around the achievement of each pupil’s academic, social and emotional potential. We appreciate that academic learning is very important, though not the only measure of success, and we believe that all children are entitled to access a world class education.

At The Leigh Academy Hundred of Hoo, we will combine good manners and etiquette with 21st Century innovation and creativity to ensure our pupils are more than just educated, they become globally minded citizens who will be empowered to change their own lives and the lives of those around them.

This will be achieved by: - Providing an IB influenced learning curriculum that creates; Inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people that act with integrity, and contribute to the local community. They will also help to create a better, more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect, recognising that other people with their differences can also be right. - Having staff that aspire to the highest standards, who model and encourage a love of learning within a nurturing environment that supports students to achieve their greatest academic potential and excel in all they do. - Fostering a partnership with parents and carers so that they share the same high aspirations for their child, feel welcomed and valued by the school community, and are able to provide support in their child’s learning and development

We believe that:

  • All children are entitled to access a world class education
  • Everyone, regardless of background or starting point, can achieve the highest academic standards
  • Children should be equipped with values, attitudes and attributes that will serve them well to be lifelong learners.
  • All members of staff deserve great challenge and support on their journey to becoming masters of their craft.
  • We believe that children and adults flourish when they learn and work as members of a supportive, cohesive community built on high expectations, rigour, mutual respect and pride in their own and each other’s achievements.

We are a disciplined Academy, where pupils thrive in a culture defined by mutual respect and impeccable behaviour. We unashamedly focus on academic excellence and focus on every child achieving highly in subjects that will serve them well beyond school and into the next stage of their education and into their careers.

All learning experiences offer the opportunity for children to apply their understanding in a global context developing their notion of international mindedness and therefore becoming principled global citizens.

We have an uncompromising culture of no excuses, and we insist on high standards for staff and pupils. We mean this, we follow it and we refer to it every day because we believe in it. Every pupil matters, every pupil can achieve, every lesson counts.

“Our values decide our character; our character decides our value.” – James Kerr

The ethos created within our community are based on the values we promote:

  • ASPIRE to the very highest standards
  • ACHIEVE to the best of our ability
  • EXCEL in all that we do

Our Ofsted report from March 2024 confirms that pupils thrive at this happy and welcoming school, all pupils benefit from calm classrooms where they can concentrate on their work and finally pupils are keen to demonstrate how much they have learned and they are confident in discussing this learning.”

'Through innovation and creative thinking, we will work tirelessly to ensure that every child leaves education with all the skills required to lead a productive, successful, and most importantly, a happy adult life.' - Carl Guerin-Hassett, Principal
