Innovate – Challenge – Flourish
At Mary Rose our vision is to prepare every member of our community for the next significant phase in their lives, whatever that might be, at every age and stage.
Mary Rose Academy puts our pupils and their families at the very core of all that we do.

Our academy enables pupils to
- Achieve great things
- Solve problems and become as independent as possible
- Experience the joy of discovery
- Build dreams
