Principal – Atlantic Academy Portland reporting to Director of Education

Atlantic Academy is an all-through school based in Portland, and has already made great waves in transforming the education of students in Portland in the last 5 years, leading the way in the highest standards of education as well as disruption-free learning. Atlantic Academy is gaining a local and national reputation for rapid sustained improvement.

At Atlantic we are passionate about excellence in all aspects of a child’s life, giving students the very best start possible. We have high aspirations, and believe students should:

• Believe in themselves
• Be actively engaged in their learning
• See the connection in what they want to become and what they are doing
• Have disruption-free learning
• Have access to a challenging academic curriculum offer
• Not dwell on barriers but seek solutions

Our success so far

We have witnessed a remarkable turnaround in all aspects of the Academy, with the expectations having immediately raised outcomes. The calm and purposeful atmosphere supports all aspects of learning, and the mantra of Work Hard, Be Kind permeates throughout the buildings and into the community. The success and recognition has created growing numbers on roll. We have year groups of 60 in Primary and 120 in Secondary which helps promote the unique and supportive atmosphere at the Academy.

We have several further mantras that support our vision:

‘100% Every day. No Shortcuts’

‘Excellence is a habit’
