I am very honoured to be the Headteacher of Newhouse Academy and it is a privilege to serve the students and the community. We are entering a new and exciting time for Newhouse Academy. Our High Expectations Agenda to ensure both our students and staff are supported to deliver the highest standards is embedding itself in the academy's culture.
Our staff are encouraged to be imaginative and creative in the classroom in order to deliver motivational and inspiring lessons. Newhouse Academy, is part of Hollingworth Learning Trust. As part of the Trust we are committed to providing opportunities for all students in a school where the values of aspiration, integrity and respect are integral.
This is coupled with the determination to ensure all of our students achieve their desired destinations after Year 11 when they leave us.
