At The Albany, every day is a new day, every moment a new opportunity to learn. Our past does not define us. Everyone can learn and anyone can change. Young people coming to The Albany may feel that they can’t succeed but we know they can. We help our students and their families to ‘Believe’ in themselves, ‘Engage’ in their learning (academic, creative, physical, social and emotional), and ‘Achieve’ in so many areas of their life.
We aim to ‘transform pupils’ lives because … (we)… never give up on anyone.’ [Ofsted, July 2017}
The Albany is a learning community, where everyone is part of our ‘Albany Family’. In our recent Ofsted visit (July 2017), they recognised that we ‘go the extra mile every day to build positive relationships with … (our) … pupils. These relationships are key to your success in re-engaging pupils with their education.’
