Summary

Archway Academy, located in Middlesbrough, is a Pupil Referral Unit that provides an inclusive learning environment for students in Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. Catering primarily to pupils who are permanently excluded, at risk of exclusion, or facing challenges in maintaining attendance due to anxiety or other crises, the academy focuses on meeting individual needs, including those of students with disabilities.

The curriculum at Archway is designed to support students' personal, social, emotional, and educational development. The academy emphasizes collaboration with local schools and agencies to facilitate smooth transitions for students returning to mainstream education or to other suitable placements. This approach ensures that each pupil receives tailored support based on their circumstances.

Archway Academy also promotes a positive school culture through its reward system, known as ‘Archie’s’. This initiative encourages students to develop skills in resilience, citizenship, and employability, while also teaching them money management through a Tuck Shop where they can spend their earned rewards. With a high percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals, Archway is committed to fostering a supportive community for all its students.
