My story: Clair Foden, Principal at Lady Lumley’s Academy

A very warm welcome to all our potential Year 7.

At Lady Lumley’s we are driven to ‘Be our best’ in all we do and are ambitious for all our students to make progress.

We are proud of our academic results which give our students the best life chances and are the product of a school that invests in high quality teaching and learning.

As part of Delta Academy Trust, Lady Lumley’s Academy benefits from the support and expertise of a highly experienced and successful family.

Qualifications give life choices and chances

In 2025, Lady Lumley’s Year 11 students got the best results the school has ever had with 69% (National Average 45%) getting GCSE Maths and English at 5+ and 80% at 4+ (National Average 65%).

These door opening qualifications were hard won and give our students life choices and chances.

Our thriving Sixth Form is a fantastic goal for students to aim for, right from Year 7, taking them to Higher Level Apprenticeships, University and Employment.

Lady Lumley’s has fantastic facilities

Being a student at Lady Lumley’s gives a wealth of opportunities to develop their interests and build an understanding of the 21st Century locally, nationally, and internationally.
