Welcome
We are ambitious for every child to reach their full potential and as a school we recognise it is our role to help to facilitate this.
It is very important to us that every student has the chance to experience success. Success can present itself in many different forms, whether this is academic or within our wider community. Students have the option to participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. This enables our community every opportunity to celebrate students’ success proudly and loudly.
We believe with strong support from home to ensure the best progress, we can collaboratively develop our young people into well mannered, articulate, future focused and empathetic young adults.
Medina College, with its beautiful and spacious grounds, caring and inspirational staff and broad and balanced curriculum offers the best educational environment for students to thrive. We champion respect, diversity and equality. We are a community where students can dream big, feel safe and be valued and in return we expect all students to offer the same experience to each other.
I am excited to welcome you to our community and to have the opportunity to work together to develop our young people into the inspirational generation of tomorrow.

Head of School
As Executive Headteacher of Medina College, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website.
Medina College is a thriving, caring and forward-thinking school – our motto Aspire and Achieve encapsulates our aim of providing the highest quality education for all, where every child is encouraged to aim high and achieve their personal best. Set in beautiful and spacious grounds, Medina provides a wealth of opportunities for our students, with a broad and balanced curriculum, a wide range of extra-curricular activities and trips and visits at home and abroad. Every child is unique, and we aim to nurture their talents, enable each child to feel success and grow into confident and resilient young people, prepared and looking forward to the next chapter beyond Medina.
I feel privileged to be leading this wonderful community of students and dedicated team of staff into its next exciting phase of development as part of the HISP Multi Academy Trust. Working as part of this successful family of schools will serve to further enhance the educational opportunities for our students and provide a wealth of professional development opportunities for staff.
If you would like to find out more about our school, I would encourage you to come and visit us, see the school in action and meet our staff and students.
