About
About
Stansfield Academy is an Alternative Provision Academy providing full time education for children from 4-16 years of age. We cover Central Devon including Exeter, East Devon and Mid Devon and work closely with Devon County Council to ensure a swift transition both into and out of the Academy to minimise the impact of any transition on the learning of those young people.

Emily Johnston
Vice Principal
I have worked in mainstream primary schools for fifteen years teaching across all Key Stages including Early Years Foundation Stage. During this time I took the role of SENDCo and Key Stage One Leader. Alongside teaching, my main focus was working with individual children to support and develop their social, emotional and behavioural needs. I pride myself on building positive relationships with children to help them achieve their full potential. I am delighted to have joined CDA as the Learning and Standards Manager in Primary since September 2016.
