Archway Academy

Archway Academy is a fully inclusive place of learning which ensures that all pupils achieve their potential personally, socially, emotionally, physically and educationally.  As a Pupil Referral Unit, Archway Academy welcome pupils in KS3 and KS4 from across the Borough of Redcar and Cleveland when they are unable to continue to attend their present school.  This may be because they are permanently excluded, struggling to maintain attendance because of anxiety or crisis or new to the area.

Archway Academy provide placements according to individual needs.  These may be time-limited where pupils are supported to return to another school or longer term, where pupils require a multi-agency assessment of their needs or are unable to return to school as a result of continued anxiety.  

Parents cannot apply directly to Archway Academy because we are a Pupil Referral Unit.  Professionals complete a referral form – this is generally managed by the Academies or Redcar and Cleveland Inclusion Team – and these are submitted to a panel who meet weekly to consider placements.  However, we are very willing to meet parents/carers and show them around Archway if they are considering a place with us.  Pupils are not placed at Archway without the agreement of parents/carers.

Archway Academy has close links with schools and academies within Redcar and Cleveland as well as other outside agencies.  

Our Mission Statement is: ‘All learning is an Archway to success’ which reflects our desire to ensure that all pupils, regardless of needs, access education that is appropriate to their needs. For those who are with us longer, we link with outside agencies to provide multi-agency responses to need as well as connections with further education training agencies and local colleges.
