Principal's Welcome

My name is Mr. Higgins and I am the Principal at Oulton Academy, a community school located in the South of Leeds, West Yorkshire.

At Oulton Academy, all students are encouraged to achieve their full potential regardless of their background or ability. The underlying mission for the academy is to ensure that when students leave, they are happy, well-qualified and confident young adults who will be successful in the next chapter of their learning.

At Oulton Academy, we aim to develop a set of values, attitudes, skills and behaviours in all our students that will support them and contribute to their success in both school and adult life.

All students at Oulton Academy will receive:

Outstanding Learning

Outstanding Support

Outstanding Experiences

At our core are our common shared values:

Respect, Leadership, Motivation, Resilience, Reflection and Self Confidence.

Oulton Academy has many wonderful qualities which I would welcome you to see first-hand. It is very important to us that we maintain a close relationship with parents and carers as we genuinely believe that education is a partnership between the academy and home. Throughout the year there will be many opportunities for you to visit the academy and see for yourself the wonderful work that is being done by your children and our students.
