LYDIARD PARK ACADEMY
Potential into performance

Welcome to the schoolMr Zimmerman, Head Teacher

Lydiard Park Academy opens its doors to new pupils for the first time in September 2012. The Academy will be the successor school to Greendown Community School, occupying an enviable site on the edge of West Swindon bordering Lydiard House and Park.

A new beginning

The granting of Academy status in August 2011 was testimony to how successful Greendown had become. However, the view of staff and governors was that this opportunity should be used to trigger a new phase of growth – one in which the school would become a nationally known centre of excellence.  From this ambition came the idea of a new school, built on the successes of the recent past but with a distinctive identity and unique approach. We are developing a new website that will grow during the course of this year www.lydiardparkacademy.org.uk and further information can be found by clicking here.

Our goal

We aim to be the school of choice for parents who want their children to be the very best that they can be. Our two new academy programmes are central to fulfilling this goal. They will be unique to Swindon and, in the case of the Sports Academy, unique within UK schools. Our view is based on practice seen at first hand in the best schools internationally. Giving pupils a platform to excel in their areas of talent ensures others also aspire to do well, raising expectations and standards throughout the school.
