At Winifred Holtby Academy, our collective educational philosophy is clear: we must deliver a first class educational experience to all students.

Highly successful schools and academies by their very nature are able to bring out the best in everyone at every level– they operate in such an effective way that success is not something that happens by chance – but it is inevitable. Every child, irrespective of background and circumstance, has the right to be educated in an effective school. It is this belief that forms our core principle.

At Winifred Holtby Academy, we recognise and understand the positive impact an effective teacher has on the learning and progress a student makes. What happens in the classroom, workshop, and gymnasium or on the sports field is at the centre of everything we do, and we believe that we should always endeavour to be the best we can be.
