Values and vision

We are exceptionally proud of our academy and our vibrant community of students, parents, staff and governors who work together to provide an engaging learning environment where our young people can flourish.

We encourage all our students to achieve excellence in all that they do.  We provide real support for growth, development and ambition, based on our core culture of "NK Cares". This is designed to help students and families break the boundaries of what we "can do" to make what we "aspire to do" a reality.

Our aim is to produce confident well rounded individuals and in addition to all the traditional academic subjects vocational subjects, performing arts and PE are all well represented in our curriculum with excellent facilities.

For our staff, our welcome is warm and you will be joining a friendly team of committed professionals who have high expectations of themselves and their students.  The Academy is committed to promoting and developing staff wellbeing and has a superb programme of professional development for every stage of your career.

Ofsted

“The behaviour of students is good. They are very polite, courteous and friendly, and there is a calm and purposeful atmosphere around the school. Students have positive attitudes to learning. They are prompt to lessons, bring the necessary equipment and settle down to work quickly.”
