It is with great sadness that we hear of the loss of one of our former students. Our deepest sympathy goes out to family and friends at this difficult time. The loss of a vibrant student whose smile lit up a room, will never be forgotten. Forever a part of Armthorpe Academy.
Unfortunately, due to a tragic incident in the community involving one of our ex-students, tomorrow night’s Awards Evening has been cancelled as a mark of respect. Further details will be added to the school website.
Delighted to be able to share our Ofsted report, following our inspection earlier this month.
Armthorpe Academy is officially GOOD in all categories! 🙌🙌🙌
So proud of all our nominees tonight at the inaugural

Congratulations to our Year 7 students who have made the top 10% based on achievement points this half term. We are immensely proud of you all; true ambassadors for our school who model and epitomise our values daily. 🌈

Congratulations to all our students on their results today. We are extremely proud of you all. Just remember great results are fantastic but they don’t define who you are; your character and personality do. Celebrate, take care and enjoy flying on the next phase of the ride.

Nothing better than when our students proudly come to see me on a Monday morning to share their sporting successes (from the weekend) in the local community.
