Welcome to the John Paul Academy website. It will provide you with lots of interesting detail about the operation of our school and hopefully answer any questions you may have.

At John Paul Academy we have a core objective, that is, to make a unique difference to every individual within our community in order that they reach their highest potential. It is in working towards this end that we create an ethos of achievement that is conducive to high quality learning.

You will see that there are many clubs and extra-curricular activities for our learners to be involved in where they can develop relationships with both members of staff and their peers. It is through these quality relationships that we believe real learning, that will benefit young people for the rest of their lives, will take place.

Our partnerships with parents are critical as parents and carers are the primary educators and that is exactly why we would encourage you to contact us directly if you have any concerns or questions relating to the development of the young people.

We do hope you find our website interesting and helpful and look forward to working with you in the future.

Mr. V. A. Docherty
