The Thomas Clarkson Academy joined the Brooke Weston Trust in 2012 and aims to improve the life chances of all young people in a multi-cultural community. It embraces the Brooke Weston ethos that puts students at the heart of everything it does.

The Academy, which is led by Principal Clare Claxton, intends to make Thomas Clarkson the school of choice for local families and to create greater opportunities that allow talents to flourish and students to develop as independent learners.

Thomas Clarkson is determined to overcome the barriers that are preventing students making good progress including working more effectively with the community. Plans are in place that are long term and sustainable but the Academy is also striving for rapid improvements that are to be gained from short term, well targeted intervention programmes.

The Academy is resolutely committed to meeting whatever challenges might compromise the vision to make Thomas Clarkson Academy an excellent place to learn.
