About Hartshill Academy

Hartshill Academy is a secondary academy in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, for pupils aged 11-16.

Hartshill Academy is set in extensive grounds and the catchment covers very diverse urban and rural areas. This is a very exciting time for Hartshill Academy as we prepare for the move to our new building in September 2023. We are very fortunate to be one of the 50 schools chosen nationally as part of this project and we are all looking forward to the new opportunities this will bring.

Values and vision

At Hartshill Academy we have high expectations of ourselves. We practice kindness and gratitude every day. Our school HART values of Heart, Ambition, Respect and Tenacity underpin everything we do. We take time to reflect on our HART values and how we can develop each day. We want to ensure we are always challenging ourselves to be even better today than yesterday. We strive to practice perfect in everything we do. We know that our daily practices become our habits, our habits become our character and our character is who we are.

We have an aspirational knowledge rich curriculum for all pupils. Our staff work collaboratively to innovate and plan inspiring learning, enabling our pupils to leave Hartshill Academy with a lifelong love of learning. We ensure there is high challenge and high support for all pupils to ensure they can access and make excellent progress in all lessons. We work hard to ensure all pupils reach their full potential and leave Hartshill Academy with the skills and knowledge to make informed decisions about their next steps. We have an excellent pastoral team who work closely with our families to ensure all pupils are supported so they can arrive to lessons ready to learn and make the most of the opportunities available to them each day.
