Principal’s Welcome
As Principal of Lady Jane Grey Academy, it is my absolute privilege to welcome you to our exceptional school community.
Here at Lady Jane Grey Academy, we believe that childhood is a time of limitless possibility, a time to explore, grow, and dream boldly. Our school is not just a place of learning; it is a place of wonder, challenge, and aspiration, where every child is encouraged to strive for excellence and become the very best version of themselves.
We are incredibly proud of our vibrant, high-achieving pupils, whose curiosity, creativity, and determination shine through in everything they do. Every corner of our school is alive with ambition, from the classrooms to the playgrounds, as we inspire one another to think deeply, work hard, and treat others with kindness and respect.
At Lady Jane Grey Academy, we set the highest expectations, not only for academic achievement but for character, confidence, and compassion. We nurture excellence through a rich, broad curriculum and a warm, inclusive environment where every child feels seen, celebrated, and supported.
Strong partnerships between pupils, families, and staff are the heartbeat of our school. Together, we are united by a shared belief in the extraordinary potential of every child.
Our motto, ‘To be the best they can be’, isn’t just words; it’s our commitment that every child will be inspired, challenged, and equipped to thrive, not just during their time with us, but for the exciting journey that lies beyond.
In May 2025, Lady Jane Grey Academy proudly became part of the Raleigh Education Trust, joining a dynamic and forward-thinking family of schools. This exciting partnership is already enhancing our academy in powerful ways, from raising educational standards even further, to expanding opportunities for outdoor learning and providing exceptional professional development for our dedicated staff team.
We are energised by the possibilities this collaboration brings and are already seeing the positive impact on our pupils’ learning and experiences. Together we are stronger!
If you are considering Lady Jane Grey Academy for your child, we warmly invite you to come and see our school in action. Please contact the main school office to arrange a visit. I would be delighted to personally welcome you, introduce you to our passionate team, and share the vibrant, nurturing environment that makes our school such a special place to learn and grow.
We look forward to welcoming you to our remarkable school, a place where futures begin.
