Teacher of English
The Academy, Selsey

Introduction:
The Academy, Selsey is situated at the very heart of the local community and serves the surrounding areas of the Manhood Penninsula.

The local area is semi-rural and is one of the last relatively undeveloped stretches of coast line, along the south coast. Employment is mainly in tourism, agriculture and horticulture, boat building and the service sector (schools/shops). Our four houses have close links to the history of Selsey, specifically the RNLI giving students at insight into and pride in our local community.

However, being surrounded by the sea on all sides can make travel feel difficult for young people and can engender insularity. We are determined that our students do not become insular in their thinking and are motivated to see and experience cultures and communities within and beyond our island. Our ambition is for all of our young people, by the time they leave us in Year 11, to feel empowered to see, care for, love, respect and to flourish in their world.

The Academy, Selsey is a school at the very heart of the local community and aspires to be the school of choice for all who live here. The school is committed to doing everything possible to support the community in which we live and work and we enjoy strong links with parents, businesses and local organisations. Our students strive to make their parents/carers, school and community proud.
