I am very proud to be the Principal of the Discovery Academy where every student is supported to achieve their full potential.聽 Our purpose is that we are committed to 鈥渄elivering ambitious, high quality teaching and learning, every lesson, every day, overcoming inequality and allowing every student to achieve success鈥.
We belong to a forward-thinking Trust, encompassing a number of successful local schools and we passionately believe that in education there should be equity for all.聽 I strongly believe that a postcode should not impact the standard of education a child receives or limit their aspirations for the future.
As an academy we have created a culture centred around our core values of Pride, Respect and Commitment to ensure high expectations, positive relationships and support for all our students.聽 I believe having high expectations of behaviour and attitudes enables teachers to teach and students to develop in a caring, supportive environment.
We are committed to鈥
鈥淒elivering ambitious, high quality teaching and learning every lesson, every day that overcomes inequality and allows every student to achieve success鈥
Everyone will demonstrate Pride, Respect and Commitment Everywhere, Every time!
Our academy prides itself on the relationship between the academy and home, with an emphasis for students on belonging and being proud to be part of the Discovery Family.
We achieve the academy purpose through an unwavering focus on our students’ results and progress within their learning, and by offering the absolute best teaching and support.

猫咪社区 is looking to create Stoke-On-Trent's 1st聽Secondary SEN Resource Provision for children with an Education and Health Care Plan who need a blended approach to their needs.
This provision for 10 children will be for children from across the city, and specialist staff will be recruited to provide a nurturing, highly supportive small provision in a therapeutic setting, in conjunction with the local authority.
This will give children with SEND, who struggle with a mainstream offer and need a different provision,聽 the opportunity to have access to a curriculum they might not be able to receive in a more specialist setting.
The provision will be in what was the Extended Learning corridor so children will feel safe, have a sense of belonging and have the nurture they need to gain success.
Therapeutic classrooms are designed to allow children choice. Seating is diverse, tables are of different shapes and heights, areas of classrooms are designed for comfort and regulation. Home from home.
All children are different. Discovery Academy will be trialling a new way of learning - and at the heart of it - inclusion. This is just the start.
We hope that by using researched and evidence-based strategies, we can meet more children's needs from across the city.
We would really like your thoughts on this. Please complete the survey on this by 15th May 2025
Thank You. Paula Smith. Trust Lead for SEND, Safeguarding and Alternative Provision.
