Admissions

We know that each child is different and at Flegg we offer a broad, ambitious yet inclusive curriculum that enables students to discover new talents, be inspired and challenged.

At Flegg, we put the student at the heart of the curriculum. Guided by our core values of kindness, aspiration and respect, we believe that every child, regardless of ability, has the right to an excellent education that helps them to be become the best version of themselves. Our experienced teachers know what excellence looks like and how to encourage and support students in achieving this. We help our students nurture big dreams and empower them to make those dreams a reality.

Whilst some schools have slimmed their curriculum offer, Flegg is proud that its rigorous academic core is enriched by a wide range of creativeand technical subjects. Students are able to experiment in well resourced science labs, to trial and develop in technology workshops and catering rooms, to create in art, dance and drama studios and to participate in team and individual sports using our sports hall, 3G and rugby pitches alongside our fitness suite. A wide curriculum helps ensure happy, engaged children who become well-disciplined and motivated learners.  Being a student at Flegg extends beyond the classroom and students are able to access a wide range of clubs and extracurricular activities. 

At Flegg we know that there are no excuses and we set the bar high. We are determined for all to achieve and provide a supportive environment for all to learn.




We are delighted to welcome all prospective students and parents/carers to our academy.
