Grace Academy Darlaston

Welcome to Grace Academy Darlaston. Our Academy continues to move forward at pace, our Recent Ofsted report in April 2022 states ‘Excellence is one of the key values of the school. This value is the guiding principle of the curriculum. The school encourages pupils to achieve high academic aims and develop as well-rounded individuals.’ The outcome of the Inspection was that ‘Grace Academy Darlaston continues to be a good school’. All members of our school community – students, parents and staff should be proud of this achievement.

It is our intention to see the Academy continue to flourish and to guide all students to achieve their full potential whilst embracing the core values that Tove Learning Trust’s Grace Academies uphold.

About our school experience

Details

Potential applicants who visit Grace Academy will be able to observe lessons and talk with teachers about training to be a teacher at Grace Academy and with Barr Beacon SCITT.

All potential applicants will meet with a senior member of staff to discuss training with Barr Beacon SCITT and understand the programme and the ITT curriculum in more detail.

We host these on specific days to ensure our availability. We will endeavour to allow you to observe your subject, however, depending on the classes available you may be observing teaching outside of your subject. This will still allow you to see what makes Grace Academy such a special place to train to be a teacher.
