I recognise that deciding on a secondary school is one of the most significant choices you will make, and we work hard to make sure that students of all academic levels succeed here to the fullest. Your child has a right to a fulfilling and pleasurable learning experience, in our opinion. Thanks to our dedicated and caring personnel, excellent state-of-the-art computing facilities, and other resources, Joseph Leckie Academy is able to do precisely that. Understanding the value of the partnership between you, as parents, the Academy, and your kid is the cornerstone of our strategy. We focus an emphasis on traditional norms like dress code, politeness, discipline, and respect while also giving our pupils a very current education that will help them excel in both the industry and society at large. With an average of 70% of our students earning five or more GCSEs at an A*-C or higher, we are pleased of our exam results. The majority of our pupils continue with us until sixth grade and then enrol in reputable universities. It is an honour for me to lead Joseph Leckie Academy. It is a school where staff members genuinely care about kids and go above and beyond to support their success. Excellent progress has been made in recent years, and we are constantly working to improve our kids' learning environments. We know that a website can only provide you with so much information, so we urge you to come see what we have to offer in person. The chance to interact with staff members is further enhanced by our Open Days and Open Evenings.
