Welcome to Rawlins Academy

Act wisely and make the most of every opportunity.
Colossians 4:5

At Rawlins Academy, we have believed for over 300 years that dedication, effort and perseverance turn potential into achievement, and this underpins our culture every day. Our pupils learn that hard work is not simply a means to an end, but a way of life; they are challenged academically to step beyond what feels comfortable and to develop resilience and self-discipline that will serve them well beyond their school years.

As a Church of England academy, our mission, “Act wisely and make the most of every opportunity” Colossians 4:5, guides everything we do, ensuring every student flourishes academically, spiritually and personally, feeling known, valued and supported to achieve their full potential. Our values of Developing Trust, Inspiring Hope, Building Success and Shaping the Future support a culture of dignity, hope and strong community, where high expectations are matched by rich opportunities both in and beyond the classroom.

This commitment extends to our extra-curricular life, where students are encouraged to prepare thoroughly, compete with integrity and take pride in all they do, while also developing a strong sense of service to others at a local, national and global level. We are a proudly inclusive school, with specialist provision for pupils with Autism and MLD, and we hold the same aspiration for every student: to give their very best each day. In an ever-demanding world, we are determined to ensure our young people are ready. We warmly invite you to visit us,

We would love for you to come and see us. Visit, ask questions, and meet our community and experience the energy, ambition and care that make Rawlins Academy such a special place.
