Welcome to Alanbrooke Academy

“No Child Gets Left Behind”

Welcome to Alanbrooke Academy, where we believe every child has the potential to excel. As Executive Headteacher, I am incredibly proud to lead such a vibrant, nurturing, and aspirational community. Alanbrooke Academy is led by myself, an experienced Executive Head teacher and Executive Deputy, Mrs Long. Both myself and Mrs Long also lead Sowerby Primary Academy in Thirsk, which is a wonderful school with a long-standing reputation in the community.

Our recent Ofsted inspection (February 2025) confirmed what we already know – Alanbrooke Academy is an exceptional school, which is outstanding in all areas. Inspectors praised our inclusive and ambitious culture, noting how pupils flourish in our small yet dynamic setting. 

At Alanbrooke, we have high expectations for every child. Our expertly designed and engaging curriculum enables all pupils, including those from military families and those with special educational needs, to thrive and achieve exceptional outcomes. Inspectors highlighted the quality of teaching, which is tailored to each child’s needs, and celebrated how our children demonstrate confidence, resilience, and a genuine excitement for learning.

Beyond the classroom, we place great emphasis on personal development. Pupils benefit from an enriching array of opportunities, from leadership roles and sporting competitions to after school clubs. Our pupils' behaviour is exemplary, and they consistently show kindness and respect in all they do.

Alanbrooke Academy is part of the Elevate Multi Academy Trust, and together we work to provide outstanding educational opportunities while supporting the well-being and professional growth of our dedicated staff team.

Whether you are a prospective parent, a current family, or a visitor, we warmly invite you to explore our website, or visit us in person, to learn more about the values, achievements, and opportunities that make Alanbrooke Academy such a special place.
