I would like to offer you a warm welcome to River Tees Secondary Academy where we believe ‘we change lives.’
Our academy is an alternative provision academy (AP) located in Middlesbrough. The academy provides high quality education for learners who have been excluded from school or are at risk of exclusion.
We pride ourselves on our curriculum which is carefully planned to build every child’s character, community and currency.
Character: Who you are and who you want to be
Community: Links to others and the wider world
Currency: Learning for your future
This provides every learner with a sense of self and the ability to be successful in their futures.
Our focus on personal development ensures that every learner feels happy and safe in an environment where they are valued and inspired to learn. At our school, we work hard to build strong relationships leading to a family ethos.
When the time comes for ta learner to leave us, they will be better equipped for a positive role in society and be more able to make informed choices. We know this because, over time, we have seen many of our learners manage their barriers to education, gain GCSEs and become responsible citizens in society.
