At Smestow academy we are committed to supporting every child to achieve their fullest potential.  We aim to provide the best educational experience we can for our pupils by operating the simple mantra of ‘what we would want for our own families, is what we want for every child at Smestow’.

We aim for every child to be the best version of themselves and strive to improve every day by focusing on learning and improving. We have high expectations and support and teach pupils to reach them. We expect pupils to show manners and respect to each other and to their teachers, and we do not tolerate any pupil stealing the learning of others. If pupils do not meet expectations they are sanctioned and are expected to reflect on how they could do things differently next time.

My dedicated staff and I pledge to work together with all our parents to enable all of our pupils to become happy, confident and motivated learners. This will be built upon developing positive relationships and upholding the school’s values. We want pupils to be focussed on shaping their own futures with the ultimate aim of accessing the best university courses, most sought after apprenticeships or entering employment with high quality training.
