LANDAU FORTE
ACADEMY AMINGTON
OPENED IN 2010
Whilst the Academy is part of the national
network of schools and academies, it is
owned and operated as an independent
educational organisation providing free full
time education for children from 11 to 16
years old.
The Academy has been established to bring
together the worlds of business, industry
and education in a uniquely productive
partnership to secure the highest quality
education for young people. The Academy
moved to new purpose built accommodation
in September 2011 which provides a first
class learning environment for 960 11 – 16
year olds at Amington and 860 16 – 19 year
olds at Tamworth Sixth Form Academy.
The Academy intends to provide a distinctive
style of education. The aim is to make
learning challenging, interesting and relevant
to the future to ensure that our students:
•
Have acquired the ability to think
logically and approach situations with an
open and inquiring mind.
•
Become independent learners.
•
Have discovered and developed their
personal strengths, aptitudes and
interests.
•
Are familiar with the expectations of
future employers.
•
Understand how business and industry
is structured and operates.
•
Are well equipped with the technological
skills, adaptability and interpersonal
skills necessary in employment and
training.

Have developed personal qualities of
initiative, self-reliance and responsibility
so that they grow into enterprising,
versatile and law abiding citizens.
•
Are encouraged to contribute to a better
society which takes into account the
needs of others and shows respect for
people and the environment.
