The Academy – Vision, Principles, Structures and Ethos of a New Beginning

Abstract

No new beginning is ever new. Certainly, in September 2005, the name was new, a lot of the teachers were new – but just under half of the original staff transferred (TUPEd)¹⁴ to the Academy from The Ramsgate School. It was the same building to begin with, but for a few modifications, and the pupils were largely the same, though there was a new Year 7 and the old Year 11s had gone.
