About us
welcome to
New Road Academy
Welcome to New Road Academy. Our secondary academy is built around our core values of Ambition, Respect and Courage, ensuring all our students become self-reflective, independent individuals who grow with confidence and ambition. We are also proud to be part of the Learning Community Trust group of academies. Embracing diversity is central to who we are, by celebrating the unique backgrounds and experiences that each student brings to our vibrant academy community.
Our ambition at New Road is to create a community which recognises excellence and reaches for it in everything we do. We are all individuals with our own strengths, passions and talents and these must be nurtured to allow us to fulfil our potential for ourselves, our families and society as a whole.
The value of education is immeasurable. We are a sum of our experiences and the more we learn, the bigger and better we are. The learning experience lies at the heart of the academy’s aims, and we want to build knowledge and give our students the skills to apply it today, tomorrow and forever. Linking their learning to real life experiences will give them the context to know who they are and who they want to be.
As an academy we aim for achievement in three main areas:
Academic: Excellent standards and outstanding progress are a prerequisite for success and ambition in life; equipping students with the skills and knowledge they will need to be successful, happy and productive global citizens.
Social: Excellent relationships for learning are a prerequisite for all other achievements. Relationships that engender mutual respect between students, and all other members of our community will ensure learning can be fun in a disciplined and caring environment where the highest expectations are the norm.
Personal: All students achieve things they can be proud of every day in addition to academic success and outside our academy’s planned curriculum. We have a vital role in ensuring individuals develop their own talents and interests and have a responsibility to instil in them a sense of pride and courage in who they are and what they achieve.
New Road Academy is committed to supporting all students to achieve their very best, together, we embark on a collective journey of learning, growth, and community building.
