About

I am delighted to welcome you to Nova Hreod Academy. At Nova we are driven by our aim that students at our school will have a better chance of success here than if they attended any other school in the country.

It is our aim that students who attend this school will not only achieve excellent academic results but will also experience many high quality opportunities which allow them to flourish outside the classroom, giving them the opportunity to develop the character and skills necessary to thrive in the future.

At Nova we believe that all children have limitless potential and that all children can succeed when they are educated in an environment that is characterised by high standards of behaviour and excellent teaching. We place learning at the heart of everything that we do at Nova.

Our expert teachers deliver a rich and ambitious academic curriculum in a calm, purposeful atmosphere. Our students work exceptionally hard to develop a good understanding of the subject disciplines that we teach, learning knowledge and ways of thinking that take them beyond everyday understanding which will in the long term enable them to fully take part in society.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
