We are part of Zenith Multi Academy Trust whose core aim is “to ensure that we enhance the life chances of all young people within the trust to enable them to fulfil their potential and achieve the best possible outcomes”

We are extremely proud of the strong family ethos we have built, which focuses on developing personal character, resilience, independence and removing barriers to success. Our ethos ensures a safe and happy environment where students are at the centre of all we do. We have highly effective safeguarding structures in place and work in collaboration with parents and carers to ensure high levels of attendance, welfare and outcomes.

We have created an environment where all students can make great progress, this is underpinned by a well-structured curriculum that is rigorous and aspirational and is supported by quality first teaching.  

Our ultimate purpose is to ignite hope, drive ambition and advance the life chances of everyone who is part of our family. We will help students gain qualifications that will open the door of opportunity and develop the character to get them through. At the James Hornsby School; In order to create the life we want to enjoy, we will always be role models and embody our school values.
