The Edge Academy

 

Welcome to the website of The Edge Academy. I hope it provides you with a flavour of academy life and all of the information you require.

I was hugely honoured to be appointed Principal of The Edge from January 2024 after being lucky enough to be part of the positive growth of the school over the last five years in my previous role as Vice Principal. I am proud that The Edge has a truly special culture built on relational practice, emotional connections, and trauma-informed approaches to positive behaviour management. It is this true sense of family and community that make the Edge a place where students enjoy learning, staff enjoy working and all stakeholders feel valued and cared for.
