Our younger students join us in Year 5 at Etonbury Juniors, and move up to our secondary school in Year 7. With separate buildings for junior and secondary, we provide a nurturing environment for all pupils to receive an excellent Etonbury Experience. We know our children, and together we make Etonbury Academy a school to be proud of. 

We provide professional development for aspirational staff and access the teaching school, colleges and Apprenticeship Levy to make this happen. Our proven track record gives you every reason to consider Etonbury as the right school for you.
