Mission
Newcastle-based Excelsior Academy is a new concept in secondary education. It is made up of four individual secondary schools and a sixth form college, and pupils share certain communal areas within the academy. When it was in its planning stages there was some concern over how pupils from each of the schools would interact with each other in the shared areas. With vandalism also a problem in many of today's secondary schools, the academy was keen to ensure the safety and security of its staff and pupils at all times.
