Located in the heart of Ellesmere, Lakelands Academy is surrounded by beautiful meres and stunning countryside. We are committed to providing the very best education for the children of Ellesmere and its surrounding villages. We also take our responsibilities to our families and the local community very seriously and our aim is to help it develop and prosper. We are a collaborative and outward-facing academy where honesty, integrity, respect and loyalty are essential to the way we work.

We believe that education is much more than academic results; it is about embedding behaviours that are safe, smart, responsible and kind (our core values) in order that our young people develop into well-rounded, confident and happy individuals who respect the differences of others and are driven to make a positive contribution to society. In 2022, Ofsted commented that ‘pupils take pride in their school’, praised the ‘high ambitions for all pupils’ learning’, and recognised that Lakelands ‘prepares pupils well for their future lives’.

We are a highly aspirational school with a clear aim to provide an outstanding educational experience for all our young people, ensuring they are prepared for further education and the world of work. We genuinely believe in every one of our children and are determined to deliver excellence in all we do. We combine an exciting learning environment with high quality facilities in order to challenge and inspire everyone to achieve and to do this with a smile on their face.

Please join us for our open event on Wednesday 17th September between 9.30am–12pm, 1.30pm – 3pm and 4.30pm–7.30pm.
