"I could easily run out of superlatives when describing my visit to Shiphay Learning Academy and my conversations with members of your team. I was truly inspired by the dedication of your staff to ensuring that your children receive the best possible education (in its broadest sense) and support that will enable then to progress to their secondary education with all the ‘tools’ that they will need to make the most of their potential. I got the feeling that your childrens’ futures are in really safe hands at Shiphay. You achieved IiP Gold award status three years ago and it is a challenge to continue to improve from that high level. However, it is obvious from my visit that you continually aspire to push the boundaries of your excellent ‘people practices’, as you do with the support that you give to your children. I can think of very few organisations, in my experience, that can match your school for developing a team that is so firmly focused and well supported in ensuring that you achieve your vision.

We always invest in up to date technologies to add to our Learning Toolkits and have built a Film Studio which incorporates cameras and video editing software as well as ‘Green Screen’ to enable our children to shoot films against different digital backgrounds. Already our Year 5 historians have travelled back in time to interview Howard Carter and Lord Caernarvon and even further back into Ancient Egypt to talk with Tutankhamen himself. Year 4 have become Naturalists making film documentaries ‘in the field’ about local birds. Our children not only learn how to use filming equipment but they also develop their writing and presentational skills. Look out on the website for our films and our News Channel. Film studio
