Welcome from the Head
Welcome to SV Academy — a dynamic, forward-thinking independent school dedicated to delivering exceptional, alternative, and creative education for students aged 11 to 19.
As Head Teacher, it is a true pleasure to welcome you to our vibrant school community. I am proud to lead a team of passionate and dedicated educators who are united in their mission to provide outstanding educational opportunities that inspire and empower every learner.
At SV Academy, we foster a nurturing and inclusive environment where every student is valued, and their individuality is celebrated. Our aim is to spark a lifelong love of learning while equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and character needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
We are committed to academic excellence and uphold high standards in teaching, learning, and assessment. Yet, our vision goes beyond academics — we believe in developing the whole student, nurturing their physical, emotional, and social growth through a well-rounded and engaging curriculum.
We also recognise the vital role parents and guardians play in a student’s success. We actively encourage open communication and warmly welcome your involvement in our school life as valued partners in your child’s educational journey.
Yours sincerely,
Head Teacher: Will Conn
