[Embedded content](https://files.schudio.com/pdf/flipbook/?src=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.schudio.com%2Facademy-worden%2Ffiles%2Fdocuments%2FWorden-prospectus21.pdf) On 1st February 2013, Worden was recognised by the Department for Education for its achievements in educational standards and became Leyland’s only Converter Academy (an academy that does not require support from a sponsor). As Leyland’s premier academy, we are very proud of the fact that our pupils continually raise the bar and achieve new heights. Academy@Worden is where: - All pupils achieve and are recognised as unique individuals with specific talents and needs. - Pupils only get one chance and we take very seriously our role of providing the best possible opportunities for them to gain the most from their time here. - Excellent teaching encourages intellectual, creative, technological and physical growth. - We aim to develop our pupils’ ability to think independently, solve problems, communicate effectively and live happy and fulfilling lives. - Pupils are motivated and recognise the joy of achievement in a safe and orderly environment. - Pupils are encouraged to take an active part in their child’s education and in the life of the school in general. - The experiences of pupils provide opportunities to become tolerant and respectful, resilient and resourceful and encourage them to develop the skills required to face the challenges of the future. Pupils experience a range of enrichment within and beyond the school day and in the community. #### General admission information At Worden admissions are completed via Lancashire County Council.
