“I have been working at the CE Academy for three years where I joined as a support assistant. Bobbie, our previous head and the SLT team have been amazing at helping me develop further, stepping up into a teaching role. James Thomas, the new head has continued to be extremely supportive. Since the school joined the Tove Learning Trust I have been able to attend training and professional development which has helped me greatly.”

“We all work as a team and we make sure children are always first. I have worked here for 8 years now and I have learnt so much and been given so much support in continuing my professional development. Each day is different but each day is rewarding here at Water Hall.”

Hannah Archer

“I had worked in Education in a number of different roles including a science technician, and in pastoral care. After having my family I then trained as a teacher with the GUTP on their SCITT route as a mature student. The CE Academy has provided me with the training and support that I needed to become an effective SEMH practitioner. They have allowed me the privilege… to work alongside the most dedicated, skilled and supportive staff team that I have ever had the fortune to be a part of. We all work together, from office staff, to support staff , allied professionals and teaching staff, on a level playing field and in true symbiosis, relying on and supporting each other. Every staff member at the CE Academy is equal, valued and given the opportunity to develop and grow both professionally and personally.”
