Welcome to Yewlands Academy! 

At Yewlands Academy, every lesson, every moment, and every interaction matters. Our passionate and expert teaching staff are specialists in their subjects, committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-informed lessons that ensure knowledge is not just taught—but remembered and applied. Because true learning is about long-term understanding, not short-term recall.

Our vision is clear: we want every student to leave Yewlands equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in a competitive world. We believe our students deserve an education every bit as rich and ambitious as that offered by the best schools in the country—and we are relentless in our pursuit of that standard. This means holding high expectations for every student, knowing that such expectations raise aspirations and drive achievement.

While academic excellence is at the heart of what we do, we also believe in a well-rounded education. Our students have access to a broad and balanced curriculum that values the arts, sport, music, and performance just as highly. These opportunities are not extras—they are integral to the development of confident, creative, and capable young people.

Our school culture is built on a "warm/strict" philosophy. We are unapologetically high in our expectations - of behaviour, of effort, and of integrity - but we pair this with deep care, mutual respect, and strong relationships between staff and students. At Yewlands, students feel known, valued, and supported. They are part of a community that believes in them, challenges them, and stands beside them as they strive for excellence.

We know our students can achieve great things - and we will accept nothing less than their best for them.
