of Conisbrough and Denaby Main.
We aim to ensure that our students can learn in a safe and supportive
environment, where everyone values academic achievement and has
a positive attitude to learning. As a result of our journey of continuous
improvement, our students have achieved the “best ever GCSE
results” for five consecutive years now and we continue to go from
strength to strength. We offer a broad range of academic, technical
and vocational subjects to all our students and deliver a rich and
varied personal development curriculum. We strongly encourage our
students to take part in enrichment activities in order to discover all
their strengths and talents. We also regularly organise whole school
events and educational visits so that our students have the experience
of learning beyond the classroom.
We believe in rewarding students for good behaviour and achievement
and run a number of celebration events throughout the year for each
year group. Ultimately, we understand that our students are most
successful when they feel happy, valued, challenged and supported
to achieve their very best. Our dedicated and talented teachers and
support staff are committed to ensuring the best possible outcomes for
every child in our care.
We hope that having read this prospectus you will attend our Open
Evening and view our fantastic facilities. We look forward to meeting
you and welcoming you to De Warenne Academy.
Kind regards,

Principal
