About Padgate Academy

Welcome to Padgate Academy
I am absolutely delighted and proud to welcome you to Padgate Academy. We are a warm, vibrant, and inclusive secondary school at the heart of central Warrington, and we are proud to be part of The Challenge Academy Trust (TCAT) — a partnership that enables us to share expertise, opportunities, and a strong commitment to excellence for every student.
Padgate Academy is at a truly exciting point in its growth and development, with significant investment in new facilities taking place across the school. These improvements are transforming our learning environment and ensuring our students benefit from state-of-the-art classrooms, specialist spaces, and cutting-edge technology that support innovative and inspiring teaching and learning
At Padgate, we are unswervingly committed to serving our local community by providing a first-class education for all students. Our aim is simple — to create a school where every young person feels valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their very best.

Central to our ethos is the championing of good character. We believe that education is not only about academic achievement but also about nurturing kindness, respect, resilience, and responsibility. We want our students to leave Padgate Academy not just with excellent results, but as confident, compassionate individuals who make a positive difference to the world around them.

We offer a rich and ambitious curriculum designed to give every student the knowledge, skills, and character they need to succeed — both during their time at the academy and in the exciting futures that await them.


Warm regards,

Mr McMillan 

Principal
