About Us: 

Drakelow Park Flying High Academy is our fourth brand-new school, opening in September 2026 to serve a growing new community development. With the school build progressing on schedule, we are excited to be shaping a vibrant, inclusive, and future-focused primary school from the ground up. 

As a brand-new school opening small, we have a unique chance to craft a culture rooted in aspiration, belonging, and joy—where children are inspired to love learning and where every member of staff feels valued, empowered, and part of something truly special. 

At Drakelow Park Flying High Academy, our vision is simple yet powerful: “Where every child belongs, excels and is championed.” We are committed to ensuring that every moment counts in a child’s early education. From the very first day, we will provide a nurturing, ambitious, and inclusive environment where children develop a love of learning and thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. 

Our vision is fully aligned with the Flying High Partnership’s commitment to creating unique, exceptional, and sustainable schools that inspire communities and empower children. 

This vision sits at the heart of everything we aim to build.
