Welcome to The Whitehaven Academy
As a proud member of Cumbria Education Trust, we enjoy the benefits of being part of a family of schools who are all committed to the core values of Respect, Responsibility, and Resilience.
Alongside the challenges so many have faced, the past three years have seen significant developments for the school with: rising student numbers; the expanding West Coast Sixth Form, improving academic performance, increasing capacity in staff and a successful move to the new build in spring 2022.
We are a community with ambition, determination and a strong sense of collaboration. A core element of learning at our school is kindness. As a community we are supportive of each other, respecting the views, needs and beliefs of one another.
