Welcome to Nields Academy - proud to be part of Great Heights Academy Trust
On behalf of the children, staff and Governors, I would like to warmly welcome you to Nields Academy’s website.
We are a village school which prides itself in creating a happy, caring, family atmosphere where everyone is encouraged and inspired to achieve their potential and develop a love of learning. Children lie at the heart of everything we do and every decision within the school is made by firstly considering what is in the best interest of our children.
Nields Academy is a unique and creative environment, with fantastic outdoor space. We believe that our school is an inspiring place which energises learning and encourages children to develop an enquiring mind, a desire for knowledge, high personal expectations and understanding and respect for others. Our pupils thrive and shine, and leave us as compassionate, happy, reflective and adaptable young people.
We believe we have a unique combination of features here at Nields Academy which makes it a wonderful place to educate children, where all members of the community work in partnership to achieve the very best for every child.
Please take the time to browse our site and find out more about our lovely school. You are more than welcome to visit us, see our school at first hand and meet our friendly children and staff.
Mrs Jenni Wyrill,
Principal
Update re Nields Academy Nursery Provision
The local governing body (LGB) of Nields Academy are considering the viability of our nursery provision and potentially change the school age from a 3-11 age range (which it currently is) to 4-11 i.e. to close the nursery. A consultation to gather feedback and perspectives from all stakeholders and interested parties, such as parents, staff and the local community is now open and will end on 24th May 2024. Please read the following letter for more details and how to give your views:
