Ipswich Academy (formerly Holywells High School) is a mixed secondary school in Ipswich, Suffolk for students aged 11 to 16. Since September 2010, it has been an Academy.
History
In September 2010, Holywells High School become an academy, originally ran by the Learning Schools Trust, and was renamed Ipswich Academy.[1] In September 2015, Paradigm Trust - a multi-academy trust formed in September 2013 - took over operation of the academy. [2]
Paradigm Trust was formed with a very simple ethos: it is that every child is entitled to an outstanding education, with equal access to knowledge, skills, opportunities, aspirations, life chances and dignity. [3]
It aims to provide this in many ways to every child at the schools in the Trust; leading with a well-planned and taught curriculum, in an environment where the safety and well-being of pupils are paramount.
Our aims are high achievement, excellence in all we do and a set of values that underpins all leadership decisions.
