In January 2021, the academy expanded to take on Key Stage 2 learners and moved from Henderson Avenue to Wyredale Road. In September 2026 the academy took on an additional site in Broughton
Coritani Academy works in partnership with local schools and local authorities to provide academic qualifications for learners who benefit from a more personalised approach to education than is typically available within mainstream settings.
Principal's Welcome
Principal's Welcome
Welcome to Coritani Academy, We are a small academy, split over two sites, offering academic qualifications to learners who need a school community with a more individual approach to learning than you would traditionally find in a mainstream school. We deliver relationship-based education, an education experience for learners that is truly unique and tailored to the needs of the individual child.
Our staff are open and caring and have a passion and desire to ensure that learners achieve excellent outcomes at the end of their time with us. We believe that every young person has the potential to succeed when they feel safe, are inspired, and encouraged to take responsibility for their own growth.
The Academy offers a safe and welcoming environment for children from Year 3 to Year 13.
Low admission numbers mean that we can offer one to one and small group learning that is truly matched to individual need. Class sizes at the Academy are a maximum of 10 children.
Our aim is to inspire learners through excellent education and personalised support, enabling them to develop character, confidence, practical wisdom, a readiness to embrace challenges and opportunities and the desire to dare to be excellent. We strive to ensure that every learner feels Safe, valued, and Ready to become a responsible, resilient, and Respectful member of their community.
Our belief is that learners will thrive when they feel safe and supported within their surroundings and once we have this right, the best start in life we can give them is good set of academic results.
Our Academy boasts results well above the national averages for similar alternative Academies and in some cases for mainstream schools. We have an excellent track record of engaging learners in education and ensuring they achieve excellent results that allow them to move on to their next steps in life.
Our learners are proud of their academy, and those who have left to go on to successful placements at college, school sixth forms or back in to mainstream school continue to visit and contact the academy into their adult lives.
Coritani Academy is part of Isle Education Trust (IET).
If you would like to visit the Academy or require any further information, please do get in touch.
