From January 2023 Smestow Academy joined Matrix Academy Trust and embarked upon an exciting journey of rapid school improvement as experience by other schools who have previously joined the Trust.

The school is a mixed 11-18 comprehensive situated in a pleasant residential area next to attractive countryside. There are approximately 670 pupils on roll with a Sixth form provision. We are highly ambitious for our staff and pupils and fully embrace the idea that success is achieved together for all of our community.

Smestow is proudly a truly multi-cultural comprehensive school. The intake spans the full ability range and we have pupils from a rich mix of cultural backgrounds that all work together extremely well as one community. We are working hard to drive our pupils progress attainment levels to push above national figures and to become within the top 20% of schools in the country.

We offer pupils a broad and balanced curriculum in Key Stage 3, and a wide variety of option choices in Key Stage 4 and Sixth Form. We are committed to bringing out the best in every one of our pupils and therefore support their academic study with a very strong programme of safeguarding, personal and skills development work and opportunities outside of the classroom. We are very keen to expand this aspect of our work and encourage staff to embrace their own interests to inspire our pupils.

We have a strong pastoral system, with Heads of House and an excellent pastoral support structure, all working to support pupils to achieve the very best and enjoy their time at school.

Our motto is 'success is achieved together' and is based upon developing strong relationships between staff and pupils to create a strong collaborative approach. Through our house system pupils feel a sense of identity with Smestow and have a strong feeling of community. Staff are well supported and parental involvement is very good.The staff work hard and are rewarded with investment into their CPD opportunities.
