Pete Fox, Executive Headteacher

At Callerton Academy, our mission is to inspire excellence in every student, academically, personally, and socially. We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive in a supportive and ambitious environment, where their potential is recognised and nurtured.

We are proud to be a member of Gosforth Group, a family of schools united by a shared commitment to excellence, collaboration, and 'Creating Futures'. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver a high-quality education and ensures our students benefit from a wider network of expertise, opportunity, and support.

Our values guide everything we do. We promote honesty, trust, and reliability, and we encourage respect for others, care for those who need extra support, and kindness in all interactions. We also instil a strong sense of responsibility and stewardship for the world around us.

We know that a calm, friendly, and disciplined atmosphere where effort and collaboration are celebrated is the best foundation for success. That’s why we work hard to create a school culture where students feel safe, motivated, and proud of their achievements.

I’m proud to work alongside Susanna Cooke, our Head of School, whose leadership is defined by integrity, compassion, and a deep commitment to our school community. Susanna brings a wealth of experience and a clear vision for Callerton Academy, one that places students at the heart of every decision.

Her belief in the power of education to transform lives is evident in everything she does. Under Susanna’s guidance, Callerton Academy will continue to grow as a dynamic, inclusive, and aspirational school where learning is purposeful, relationships are strong, and every student is encouraged to aim high.

We are proud of our students, our staff, and the community we serve, and we look forward to welcoming you to Callerton Academy.
