Message
I am delighted to welcome you to the The Cecil Jones
Academy Prospectus.
At Cecil Jones Academy we believe in developing our
students so that they are able to achieve their potential
both academically and as members of our community.
We work on the traditional values of respect, discipline and
tolerance to prepare our students for the challenges of
examinations, social interactions and the world of work.
We want all of our students to find their passion and
have the tools to pursue their dreams. As part of the
Loxford School Trust, we are able to work within a hub of
schools, led by Loxford School, an Outstanding school,
thus ensuring that our staff are able to deliver the highest
educational standards. This enables us to stay ahead
of an ever evolving education system and a constantly
changing society.
We have a strong pastoral system and curriculum to
allow us to ensure that our students are happy, safe and
challenged in all they do at school.
We work closely with our parents and our community in
Welcome to
order to achieve the best for all in our school.
We believe that every student has the potential to achieve
greatness and will work with every student to ensure that
they get there.
I hope to welcome you at one of our Open Events, where
you will have the opportunity to see this is the right school
for your son or daughter.
I look forward to meeting you and your son and daughter.
With best wishes,
Richard Micek, Executive Headteacher
