Hertswood Academy is a thriving and happy learning-focused community. 

We provide an engaging learning environment with an innovative curriculum, state of the art technology, quality personalised care and support and a broad enrichment programme for all students. Our stimulating range of extra-curricular activities supports wider learning and we develop students’ creativity and independence so that they are able to flourish in the rapidly changing world in which we live. We integrate the teaching of A.I. skills into our curriculum, including a bespoke prompt engineering for all students, designed to enable our community to ask the right questions so that they receive the most accurate answers from A.I. models such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini. 

Our own theatre and state-of-the-art sports facilities are a testament to the creative and active commitment we have to nurture fully rounded individuals. We have a clear expectation for our students to work hard, behave well and develop as confident individuals, responsible citizens and successful 21st century independent learners.

Hertswood Academy provides a world-class educational environment for our young people and the wider community. Indeed, community and individual well-being are at the heart of what the Academy stands for. We are committed that all members of our community aim high and achieve excellence in being the best that they can be. We look forward to welcoming you.
