    Welcome to our School

    A warm welcome to Shiphay Learning Academy from Headteacher Kate Lee

    Shiphay Learning Academy is a happy and healthy place to learn.

  • "Staff set, and pupils reach, the high expectations of what they can achieve, starting in the early years. Pupils are polite, courteous and respectful. The school builds positive relationships with pupils and knows them well. This creates a nurturing place to learn where pupils grow in confidence."
