Wrenthorpe Academy is a larger than average school and caters for 315 children in the Wrenthorpe area. The vast majority of our children continue their education at the local High School, Outwood Grange Academy.

Wrenthorpe has a real sense of community and the school is in the heart of the village. Wrenthorpe Pre-School is on the school site which provides education for children of Nursery age and also offers wrap around care which is very popular with our community of busy working parents. Wrenthorpe Academy offers a breakfast and after school club from 7:30am to 6:00pm alongside holiday club provision.

In order for children to achieve high standards and make good progress throughout their school journey here at Wrenthorpe Academy, we are committed to providing a stimulating and engaging curriculum which extends far beyond the limitations of the classroom:

• We have extensive outdoor areas which include: a school pond, wildlife areas, school allotments and outdoor reading sheds.
• We plan many opportunities for learning beyond the classroom including field trips, class trips and residentials.
• We pride ourselves on the huge range of activities that our teachers provide as part of our wider after school club offer. This enables children to find their passion and to continue to grow and develop as individuals.
• We are also very committed to sport, fitness and well-being. Our PE curriculum is outstanding and children have many opportunities to compete at inter-school level and also as representatives of Wrenthorpe Academy, competing against other schools in the Outwood Grange pyramid.

We work in partnership with parents to ensure that our children develop essential skills and are well prepared for High School. We aim for children to be aware of what they enjoy, to find their passion and their interests and to be kind, wellrounded individuals. Ultimately, we strive for our children to be compassionate, independent and responsible people who are prepared in every sense to embrace the next stage of their education.

Staff at Wrenthorpe Academy are very well supported and happy to be part of a welcoming and friendly staff team. The Academy is a light, bright and spacious school building and has good communication links to Leeds and Wakefield.

All staff receive regular opportunities to reflect and develop their practise through our programme of continuous professional development. The Trust provides a well-being package and many opportunities for additional learning and development.
