Values and vision

Newark Academy has a very clear ethos focused on the achievement and well-being of our students. We believe that a school should be at the very heart of the community and place high value on collaboration, partnership and service alongside a range of core values that compliment academic success.

Our GREAT core values permeate through everything that we do at Newark Academy and through both explicit strategy and implicit activity where all academy community members regularly reflect on them. We invest time to teach our students about these values and the importance of their reflections against them.

Our GREAT values are:

Gratitude

Responsibility

Excellence

Aspiration

Tenacity

We encourage staff to be creative, independent and ambitious. We expect them to challenge and inspire our students, providing them with the motivation and support necessary to achieve their full potential.
