Thank you so much to @GraceFdtn for helping to support Year 10 with our Building Healthy Relationships day! Students had crucial sessions on topics like: choice, consent and contraception. It was fantastic to see so much engagement and have so many vital questions answered https://t.co/mKf3L3k34K

And we also went to Blackpool for the 3rd year running. It’s so important that enrichment week is enriching in as many ways as it can be. Shame about the weather, but what’s the English coast without a little wind and rain! https://t.co/UaBZyseBdS

Harlo
Student
"We have made loads of cool things in Science practicals, the Drama studio and Nurture spaces are well equipped. Ethos is a great place to relax and form our positive community."
Mrs Moore
"I am proud to have worked at Grace for almost 15 years and believe we provide a rich experience of extra-curricular activities which help to push our students to become the best versions of themselves. The staff are committed to improving the outcomes of all students and I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else."

Year 11
"The teachers put out useful resources which help me in my learning. It has helped in my studies, meaning I'll have more opportunities in the future and this will support me in my goal to become an aerospace engineer"
Emily
Year 11
"Whenever I struggled previously - but particularly this year with the stress of exams - I feel like it is always recognised and it is resolved. Whatever it is, it is always tailored to me and isn't just generic support given to everyone"
Niklas
Year 11
"With the students at the school it feels like a community where everyone is welcome. It feels like one big group and we are all in it together"
Meegan

Abigail

Student
Year 10
"I came to Grace Academy half way through a year group as I had to leave my old school due to bullying. I felt so accepted by all of the staff and students. It really is a supportive school and the staff are always around if you need them."
Head of Year 8
"Every day, I get to come to work with a staff body who share the same vision, goals and values. Grace Academy Coventry truly is more than a workplace: it is the hub of a whole community. Regardless a staff member’s role or experience, this shared passion is what makes it transcend the notion of ‘a school’. As a member of the community, I am proud to work at Grace and seeing how our students are nurtured, given opportunities and instilled with a love and passion for learning is what makes the job worthwhile."
Assistant Head of Key Stage
"Kind and compassionate staff body and students who are eager to thrive. I have never seen as many fantastic extra-curricular activities in a school as I have here. It's brilliant."
Karan
Sixth Form Student
I want to leave this school knowing I have given something back and made a difference as I have spent many hours within the school and so many of the staff have gone above and beyond for me, so I only see it as right to return this favour.
Karan
Sixth Form Student
Over the last five years that I have spent at Grace Academy Coventry, I have come to understand many things, including responsiblity, hard work and commitment.
Karan
Sixth Form Student
Grace Academy has taught me resilience and sheer determination to the extent that I achieved my goal of achieving grades from 7 to 9 which was a big achievement for me.
Habeel
Sixth Form Student
I have been at Grace Academy since the start of Year 7 and loved the community, help and life lessons this school has taught me. Grace Academy has become a second home to me and many children like me who did not always like it at home. Also, this secondary home was housed with so many caring teachers that felt like they were my parents.
Habeel
Sixth Form Student
This environment, that allowed me to find who I was, transformed my life for the better. I would not exchange the world for Grace Academy.
Ejemen
Sixth Form Student
It's been precisely 5 years since I joined the school in Year 7 and, honestly, it has been one of the best decisions I've made so far.
Abdul
Sixth Form Student
I went on the Manchester Revolution trip with Mrs Williams and Mr Driver and I learnt skills like teamwork, commitment, courage and even leadership. This trip also taught me the struggle people go through to get to where they are and how helping fellow communities around our country is not optional, but it should be a worrying concern for us more fortunate individuals.
Mr Eaton
Assistant Head of Key Stage
Having been both a student and a member of staff, I can confidently say that Grace Academy has created and continued to nurture an environment that allows anyone within the community to thrive. As a community, we are all incredibly lucky – as staff, we have some of the most tenacious learners and for students we provide endless opportunities! I am proud to be a part of the Grace Family.
Miss Harvey
Head of Year and Science Teacher
Grace Academy embodies an energetic, enthusiastic and positive atmosphere. I love coming to work everyday! It is much more than a workplace, it is a large family with extremely supportive staff and students who are a delight to work with. Nothing is ever too much here at Grace and I am proud to work here, watching students grow, develop and thrive from all opportunities given in and out of lessons. I wouldn't change it for the world!
