Welcome to Oldbury Academy

Education at Oldbury Academy is about developing the whole child and providing opportunities for them to flourish within and beyond the classroom. Instilling the values of respect, courtesy, tolerance and cooperation are an important part of our role as educators as we prepare our students for their path into higher education and the world of work.

Our mission is, through a balanced curriculum and within an ethos of tolerance, equality of opportunity and morality, to develop the talents of all students so that they may enter an ever changing world with appropriate skills, attitudes and standards.

We apply the same standards to our staff and place a high value on professional development, regarding it as a key part of our approach to school improvement. All staff are entitled to training and development to make sure that they can fulfil their responsibilities confidently and competently. We recognise that staff engaging in additional training opportunities can have enrichment benefits for our school and each application for time and/ or funding is looked at individually.

A key aspect of our school ethos is the importance of saying thank you. All staff are responsible for ensuring that they thank and acknowledge people for their work. We are first and foremost a team and as such must recognise the value that each one of us brings to the others.
