Debbie Kershaw - HeadteacherIt is with great pride that I welcome you to Paxman Academy.

As Headteacher, I am honoured to lead an educational setting dedicated to ‘Building Bright Futures’ for our students. At Paxman Academy, we are committed to providing an enriching educational experience that not only fosters academic excellence but also cultivates personal growth and development.

Our strong culture is deeply rooted in our ASPIRE values: Aspirational, Successful, Persevere, Integrity, Respectful, and Empathetic. These values are the cornerstone of our community, guiding our students in their journey to becoming responsible, thoughtful, and successful individuals.

Aspirational embodies our belief in dreaming big and setting high goals. We encourage our students to aim high and pursue their passions with confidence and ambition.

Successful reflects our commitment to helping every student achieve their full potential. We celebrate the diverse successes of our students, understanding that success comes in many forms.

Persevere highlights the importance of resilience and determination. We support our students in facing challenges head-on, teaching them to view obstacles as opportunities for growth and learning.

Integrity is a fundamental value that we instil in our students. We believe in the importance of honesty, ethics, and moral courage in all aspects of life.

Respectful underpins our interactions and relationships. We promote a culture of kindness, empathy, and understanding, where every member of our community is treated with dignity.

Empathetic signifies our dedication to fostering a caring and compassionate environment. We teach our students to understand and share the feelings of others, building a community where everyone feels supported.

At Paxman Academy, we believe that education is a powerful tool that can transform lives. We are dedicated to equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and values they need to navigate the complexities of the modern world and make meaningful contributions to society.

I invite you to explore the various aspects of our school and discover the vibrant, supportive, and aspirational community that is Paxman Academy.
