Active Futures Academy

At Active Futures Academy, we believe that movement is fundamental to learning, well-being, and personal growth. 

Through an innovative, trauma-informed curriculum based around active engagement, vocational opportunity, and physical literacy, we will equip students with the academic, emotional, and social skills to thrive, both in education and in life.

Our Commitment

At Active Futures Academy, we are committed to helping young people realise their full potential, regardless of the challenges they may have faced in education.  

We provide a supportive, inclusive and nurturing environment for learners who have been permanently excluded, are at risk of exclusion, or are struggling to thrive within mainstream settings. 

Who is Active Futures Academy for?

Key Stage 2, Key stage 3, and Key Stage 4 learners aged 7–16.

We support young people who are permanently excluded, at risk of exclusion, or struggling to thrive in mainstream settings, working closely with schools, families and Local Authorities.
