Hanson Academy has 48 main feeder primary schools, with the majority of our students living within a 3-mile radius and either walking or cycling every day. We are very proud of the students who attend our academy and their engagement with our enrichment curriculum working with West Yorkshire Fire Service, West Yorkshire Police and the Duke of Edinburgh award to name a few examples. We also work with a number of teacher training providers which infuses excellent practice into the academy.

We continually promote high expectations of our students, fully appreciating that nurturing the development of young people is a unique privilege. We strive to provide a broad, balanced and inclusive curriculum that respects the needs of all pupils as well as one that encourages young people to seek continuous development and improvement, which in turn will enhance their life chances.
