We are delighted to share some outstanding news with our school community. Following the latest Spring 2026 national census by The Engagement Platform (TEP), we have been recognised with two prestigious awards celebrating the voice and experience of our pupils at Great Park Academy.

Our school has been ranked:

• Top 5% of secondary schools nationally for pupil effort, and
• Top 10% of secondary schools nationally for pupil recommendation

These accolades reflect the strength of our school culture and the commitment shown by both our students and staff every day.

A Consistent Commitment to Excellence

This latest recognition marks the second time this academic year that Great Park Academy has received national engagement badges, having also been acknowledged in the Autumn 2025 census. Achieving recognition across consecutive national surveys is a significant accomplishment and demonstrates a sustained commitment to providing a positive and engaging learning environment.

The awards are based on feedback gathered directly from pupils across the country, making them particularly meaningful. They highlight not only the effort students are putting into their learning, but also the confidence they have in recommending our school to others.

What This Means for Our Community

Being ranked among the top schools nationally is a testament to the collective effort of our entire school community. Our staff work tirelessly to create a supportive and aspirational environment, while our students consistently demonstrate dedication, resilience, and a strong work ethic.

These results show that engagement at Great Park Academy is not a one-off success, it is embedded in the way we learn, teach, and support one another every day.

Looking Ahead

At Great Park Academy, we are committed to building on this success. We will continue to listen to our students, work in partnership with families, and strive for excellence in all areas of school life.

We would like to thank our students, staff, and families for their ongoing support in making our school a place where everyone can thrive.

Congratulations to everyone in the Great Park Academy community on this fantastic achievement!
