It is a true honour to serve as the new Head of School at this remarkable Academy. Since joining in 2020, I have had the privilege of seeing first-hand the dedication, skill, and passion of our staff, who work tirelessly to provide the very best educational experiences for our pupils. Together, we deliver an ambitious, specialist, and personalised curriculum that enables every child to thrive. We believe that learning to communicate is a vital foundation for our pupils; helping them to access the wider world, keep themselves safe, and grow towards greater independence. At Co-op Academy Delius, we place partnership at the heart of everything we do. By working closely with families, medical and non-medical professionals, Community Council Members, and the wider community, we ensure that the holistic needs of our pupils are met. The voices of all those who are important in our pupils’ lives are not only valued, but actively shape the ongoing development of our curriculum. My vision is for our Academy to remain a safe, positive, nurturing, and aspirational place where pupils are provided with irresistible opportunities to engage in learning, and where both staff and pupils feel valued, supported, and celebrated for their achievements. I warmly invite you to explore our website and social media to discover more about our work - or better still, come and visit us to experience first-hand the inspirational environment that makes Co-op Academy Delius such a special place.
