Welcome from the Principal

Thank you for your interest in Corby Business Academy, a place where each student and staff member is valued as a part of our close-knit community and is encouraged to always aim high. At Corby Business Academy, our values are the foundation of the high-quality education we provide. They shape not only what students learn, but also how they grow as individuals during their time with us.

When values are truly lived and embedded into school life, they foster positive behaviour, strengthen relationships, and create a culture where respect, aspiration, and belonging are the norm. Our shared moral compass unites staff, students, and parents in a common purpose – ensuring that achievement is measured not only by academic success, but by the development of confident, resilient, and compassionate young people.

Our core values – Commit, Believe, Achieve – were identified with our students and remain central to our identity. We revisit them regularly to ensure they are a living part of our culture, guiding every decision, interaction, and aspiration. To commit means to engage fully and take ownership of learning. To believe is to have confidence and resilience, embracing challenges with a positive mindset and faith in ourselves and others. To achieve is to recognise progress and celebrate growth – academic, creative, and personal.

We work within a shared model that expects 100% from staff and students. This does not mean perfection, but effort, responsibility, and teamwork. By giving our best each day, we build a community where everyone can flourish. We have a dedicated and experienced team of staff that is committed to giving your child a high-quality educational experience, nurturing and valuing their individual skills and aspirations. We work hard to ensure that our students have the best teaching and learning opportunities, good facilities and a full range of extra-curricular activities that run alongside their academic studies.

Our ambitious curriculum provides our students with breadth, depth and confidence and, during their time with us, they will be challenged with work that is tailored to their ability levels, and that encourages them to meet or exceed expectations.

We believe effective partnership with parents is vital to student success. Together, we can instil these values in our young people and ensure that every pupil feels supported, challenged, and inspired to reach their potential.

Welcome to Corby Business Academy – where we Commit, Believe, and Achieve every day.
 

Yours sincerely

Kerry Prior
