Welcome to The Milton Keynes Academy

Milton Keynes Academy is the fastest improving school in Milton Keynes. Team MKA is going from strength to strength, achieving a 90% increase in higher grades at GCSE in 2012. New principal Dara Carroll, formerly of Thomas Telford School, currently the most successful school in the country, is delighted with the transformation and sees a bright future for the Academy.

“I am pleased to report to parents and prospective students that there is a very positive learning climate in the Academy, students are happy and working hard and we have recruited top practitioners to create a formidable staff team capable of delivering the high standards the children deserve. We were the most improved school in Milton Keynes in 2012 and I predict another giant leap in performance this year “

Updates to The Curriculum

We are committed to developing a modern world-class curriculum that inspires and challenges all learners and prepares them for life and work in the 21st century, having a balance of knowledge and skills.

 The curriculum should enable all young people to become:

successful learners who enjoy learning, make progress and achieve

confident individuals who are able to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives

responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society

 The curriculum is driven by the needs of our learners and therefore has ‘moral purpose’.  There is a good balance between academic and vocational subjects and clear progression routes.
