I am delighted to welcome you to High Point Academy’s website as Headteacher.
High Point Academy is a specialist setting for pupils aged 11 to 16 with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC), associated Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), and Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN). At High Point, we believe that every child has unique strengths, talents and aspirations. Our aim is to inspire ambition, nurture curiosity and create an inclusive school community where every young person feels seen, heard and valued.
High Point Academy is proud to be part of the Forward Education Trust, a family of specialist schools committed to ensuring that children and young people receive the very best education, care and life chances. Together, we are driven by the Trust’s mission of empowering children and young people to live their best lives, ensuring that every pupil is supported to thrive both in school and beyond.
Everything we do is underpinned by the Forward Education Trust values:
We understand that successful learning is built upon positive relationships, consistency and trust. Our dedicated staff create a safe, nurturing and structured environment where pupils can develop resilience, independence and self-belief. Through high-quality teaching, personalised support and a broad range of opportunities, we prepare our young people for adulthood, employment, further education and active participation in their communities.
High Point Academy is more than a school; it is a community where every individual matters. We celebrate diversity, champion inclusion and ensure that every pupil is recognised for who they are and what they can achieve. By working together, we open doors to opportunities that unlock potential and help our young people develop the confidence to embrace the future.
As we look ahead, I am excited to build upon the many strengths of High Point Academy. Working alongside our talented staff, supportive families and dedicated Trust colleagues, we will continue to develop an exceptional learning environment where every pupil can flourish, achieve and become the very best version of themselves.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our academy. I hope our website provides a glimpse into the warmth, ambition and sense of belonging that make High Point Academy such a special place. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing in your child’s journey with us.
Mrs Hayley Tinsley
