MISSION

The Nuneaton Academy has a simple but powerful mission:

To provide the best possible educational opportunities and experiences, so that every student achieves their full learning potential.


As an inclusive Academy we value all the background and heritages of our student community.  We celebrate the cultures of our students and build a strong sense of community with the support of our parents, carers and partners.

The Sixth Form will have its own new base and new facilities on the Radnor Drive site and we have appointed new experienced sixth form staff to work with us to provide excellent courses with first rate support and guidance.  Our expectations are high and all our students will have access to a wide range of courses that are personalised to suit each individual student's ability, needs and future aspirations.  In addition to an extensive range of courses and enrichment activities, we offer a dedicated sixth form team who support, encourage and monitor student progress throughout the year.  All we ask is a positive attitude and willingness to learn.

OUR COURSES

The Nuneaton Academy offers a range of courses to meet all our students' needs, including Level 2 (GCSE and equivalent level courses) and Level 3 AS, A2 and BTEC Diplomas.  All students in Year 12 will also follow a core program of courses designed to both enrich and extend academic studies and prepare students for life after the Sixth Form.  The program will include support sessions, enrichment and community activities, Higher Education preparation (in conjunction with local universities including Coventry, Warwick and Birmingham), Career preparation, advice, guidance, job insights and work placements where appropriate (working with Connexions and local employers.
