Committed to improving the life chances of all children
Where we have the capacity to make a difference we are morally bound to do so.
At Breakwater Academy we encourage our children to work hard and be polite and kind, in order to become successful. The curriculum provides the children with the knowledge and skills they need in order to find success, not just whilst they are in the academy, but as they progress to the next stage of their education.
Breakwater Academy is proud to be recognised, by the Fischer Family Trust, for our autumn term attendance. The Academy is in the top 25% of FFT schools nationally, and in the top 10% for similar schools nationally.@thesteptrust pic.twitter.com/Cx9CO2EKVT— Breakwater Academy (@BreakwaterAcad) January 24, 2023
