Principal's Message
Ms Emma Appadoo
I am very
proud to be Principal at Lincroft Academy. Within our vibrant learning
community, we share a common goal; to continually strive for excellence. At
Lincroft, we maintain exceptionally high expectations and standards in
everything we do, ensuring that our students receive the best possible
education. We commit to educating, inspiring and supporting our students so
that they can become exceptional learners, confident and empowered to make a
rewarding contribution to society.
Our
curriculum is designed to seamlessly build upon the foundation laid in primary
school, preparing our students for post-16 education. High-quality teaching
enables our students to achieve very well. Lincroft Academy now has some of the
highest performing GCSE outcomes in Bedford and are above the national average.
While we take immense pride in our students’ achievements, we remain committed
to continuous improvement.
Every child
at Lincroft Academy is known, valued and supported to be the best they can be.
Our foremost priority is to create a safe and nurturing environment where
students thrive. We promote kindness, respect and good manners, just as
families do at home, so that our students can become decent adult citizens.
Students at Lincroft are well supported through our House System because they
work with the same team of staff throughout their Lincroft journey. This system
of support fosters belonging, ensures students are known well and strengthens
relationships and communication with families. Our comprehensive Inclusion Hub
allows us to provide tailored support to students, regardless of their
background or needs. Working alongside each other, being supportive and caring
is integral to who we are. Our partnership with parents and carers is highly
valued and we know that this is an essential part of a positive educational
experience for our students.
Our staff
are absolutely committed to the education of our students; they are passionate,
dedicated and many of them send their children here too. Some of our
ex-students now teach here. This speaks volumes about the sense of community at
Lincroft. The opportunities provided at Lincroft are broad and many and, even
then, continue to grow; from sports to the arts, business and careers – our
curriculum extends very much outside the classroom. Our students consistently
excel in sports and the arts, enhancing our strong reputation in these areas.
We are
proud to be part of Meridian Trust, who look after a total of 30 academies
including many in Bedfordshire. We have access to extensive knowledge,
expertise and resource, not just at Lincroft, but across the entire Meridian
network. This broader community provides our students with additional
opportunities and experiences alongside their peers from other academies. This
has also opened up investment opportunities to help modernise the school
building and facilities.
As a parent
of two children myself, I am personally committed to ensuring that the
education we deliver at Lincroft is nothing less than I would accept for my own
children. Lincroft Academy is a place where every child has the opportunity to
realise their potential. We warmly welcome you to our community.
