PARTNERS
In developing the Academy we are delighted to work in close partnership with:
Our work in developing students’ and teachers’ use of iPads to develop teaching and learning has been recognised by Apple through their awarding us Apple Distinguished School status. This is a prestigious award which only 41 schools in the UK and 400 schools worldwide have achieved.
Axiom maths provides students with maths curriculum enrichment opportunities. They work with our most able mathematicians to help them unlock the power of maths to ‘see beyond what others see’ and ‘solve unsolvable challenges’.
British Young Pilots introduces young people aged 11–16 to aviation through pilot-led teaching, simulator training, structured progression, and optional real flight experiences across the UK. Warden Park Students have the opportunity to take part in weekly sessions learning practical flying skills on desktop simulators alongside aviation theory covering topics such as physics, meteorology, navigation and engineering.

Developing high quality oracy skills is an important part of student learning at Warden Park. Our thanks go to Carole Pye for the support that Chemistry with Carole has given our oracy programme.
The Fairfax ‘Building Young Futures’ education programme continues to support our students to engage with education and develop life skills through our alternative provision programme. This includes financial and practical support of our Forest School and fishing programmes. We have a long standing relationship with Fairfax, whose sponsorship contributed to the creation of our 3G all weather pitch.
We are always delighted to welcome ‘Jack the Lad’ and his colleagues from the dare to dream programme. This is an inspirational programme that challenges young people think differently about themselves, their potential and their place in the world. The sessions in school help students prepare for exams, learning and life beyond school.
St. John’s College, Oxford University
Our collaboration with St John’s College Oxford provides our students with the opportunity to discover how university can enrich their lives as well as hoping to build a knowledge of national and global themes through university visits and their Inspire Scholars programme.
SSAT is the largest network of schools in the UK. Our membership allows us to draw on the very latest educational thinking and practice to help improve outcomes for students and the professional development of leaders and teachers. Several of our staff have benefited from leadership training provided by the SSAT. Our school senior leaders contribute to this training by hosting the school leaders of tomorrow and supporting them on their career journey.
The Leading Edge is the only national network of high performing schools. As a high performing secondary school we are able to collaborate with schools who are already excellent in the pursuit of further improvements and to benchmark ourselves in relation to the highest of educational standards. Through our engagement with the Leading Edge, our work in the following areas has been identified as ‘transformational’:
Engaging with evidence and research to improve the quality of education
Principled curriculum design
Climate for learning
We are proud to be a Sussex Learning Trust academy. Our membership of the trust enables us to benefit from the collaboration and support all members provide for one another.
