School Description

The school meets requirements on the publication of specified information on its website. The school complies with the Department of Education guidance on what academies should publish. The school is much smaller than the average secondary school. Most pupils are of White British heritage. Very few pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils known to be disadvantaged, and therefore supported through the pupil premium, is higher than the national average. Inspection report: The Whitehaven Academy, 19–20 October 2016 Page 9 of 12 The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities is below the national average. The school does not meet the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectation for pupils’ progress across a number of subjects including English and mathematics. The school uses the West Cumbria Learning Centre and a pupil referral unit in Barrowin-Furness to offer a small number of pupils alternative education provision. The school converted to become an academy in January 2014 and is a member of the Bright Tribe multi-academy trust.
