Everyone Succeeds is the story of Torquay Academy, where head Steve Margetts has employed the Leadership Matters principles to turn round a failing school into one of the most improved in SW England in just three years.
Steve joined Torquay Academy in 2014. It is a mixed 11 - 18 school based in a coastal town; it opened its 6th Form in 2013. Within its small local authority there are three grammar schools, one with a grammar stream, one faith school and three community schools. Its catchment area varies greatly in its demographics and includes wards that are among the most deprived in England. 40% of its pupils are classified as disadvantaged and 92% are White-British. Five GCSE passes including Maths and English stood at 28% in 2014, this figure had increased to 74% by 2017. It is now heavily over-subscribed.
