ABOUT THE LINDEN ACADEMY

The Linden Academy is a school which serves the heart of the local community as well as taking children from further afield. We are proud to be a very diverse school and regularly celebrate the wide range of cultures and experiences our children and families bring to the school.

A unique feature of The Linden Academy is we intentional smaller class sizes, with classes not exceeding 24. The children are very much at the heart of everything we do; we believe children need to be happy, safe and secure in order to thrive and therefore place care at the very centre of all we do. We focus on instilling five key values in the children – being respectful, being hardworking, being caring, being honest and being understanding.

 Our curriculum is designed to be bespoke to our children and our aim is for both teaching and learning to be exciting, relevant and enjoyable.

With a healthy emphasis on the core curriculum and a commitment to learning through modern technologies, TLA children receive a broad and balanced education.
