LEARNING AREAS

The Leigh wants every student to leave the Academy with confidence and a belief that learning is a positive, lifelong experience. The Academy wants every student, through involvement in a rich range of experiences and challenges, to develop high self-esteem and to make a valuable contribution to society.

There are 10 Learning Areas providing a unique learning experience for each student. There is a strong emphasis on the many ways in which people learn and the pleasure and empowerment learning brings. A vast array of extension and enrichment activities, at home and abroad, help students develop their passions, gain new experiences and further their understanding of themselves and the world.

Working with the wider community is important to us at The Leigh Technology Academy. Students are actively involved in a variety of community projects including local and global initiatives and projects relating to protecting and conserving the environment. Students work with a variety of businesses on problem-solving days, tackling real life business issues and developing their understanding of ’the real world’.

A further way in which we expect students to become active citizens is through their involvement in College and Academy councils as well as participation in competitions and special events beyond the Academy.
