Dominic Pinto
Principal
I am passionate about improving the life chances for our young people so that they have more keys to more doors in the future. However, appreciating that grades are only one piece of the jigsaw for a well-rounded education. We will never compromise on standards and have high expectations – part of our values is represented by compassion and academic rigour – we will challenge our students to be the best version of themselves, whilst walking alongside them to help achieve their goals.

As Deputy Principal at Chapeltown Academy, I oversee the broader curriculum and student support, serving as the college’s SENDCO and senior lead for wellbeing and Personal Development. In our close-knit community, dedicated to both work and study, our students’ success is our daily motivation.
