Sixth FormWelcome to Newark Academy
At Newark Academy we are highly aspirant and ambitious for our students and our community. We are committed to providing an outstanding, local education and are relentless in our pursuit of high standards of academic achievement and excellence for all.
As part of the Nova Education Trust, Newark Academy benefits from the partnership and support of a leading educational trust with a proven track record of delivering outstanding education provision.
It is my privilege to be the Head Teacher at Newark Academy, where we exist to provide our children with an education that ensures both great achievements and a good character.
We have both the great privilege and the great responsibility of working with children to help them transform their lives. This academy achieves outstanding academic results, year after year, that place us amongst the highest performing schools in the local area.
We are an inclusive school where we welcome children from a variety of starting points. We believe that children, regardless of their additional needs, should be included in all aspects of the academy’s work. Our dedicated teams work closely with students and families to ensure they get the right support to flourish.
If you would like to visit the academy, or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Our Vision
We have the highest expectations of both staff and students in all aspects of academy life and demand nothing but the best. Through strong discipline and outstanding teaching, every student will be supported to achieve success and realise their full potential.
We are committed to providing stimulating, challenging and engaging learning experiences that ignite imagination and a thirst for knowledge in our students. We invest heavily in staff development to ensure that Teaching, Learning and Assessment are very much at the heart of everything we do.
Whilst academic excellence is important, we are equally passionate about developing students as lifelong learners and promote core values of hard work, courtesy, co-operation and service. We provide a safe, secure and nurturing environment where every student is cared for and supported to become a well rounded and respectful citizen, fully prepared to make a sustained and substantial contribution to both the local and global community.
Please take time to explore our website. We encourage visits to our state-of-the art Academy building, particularly during the day where you will meet some of our talented and dedicated students and staff who are all immensely proud to belong to Newark Academy.

Aspiration
We set aspirational goals for ourselves and are relentless in our efforts to realise our dreams. We embrace our opportunities and work hard to achieve our aims and goals so that we can live choice filled lives and contribute positively to society.
