The Academy is a new and different type of school for West Norfolk. It is independent of Local Authority control and is sponsored by the College of West Anglia and Norfolk County Council.
Our vision is to inspire our students and enable them to fulfil their innate potential. We aim to combine excellence in the academic and personal performance of our students, while equipping them to be highly motivated, adaptable adults and successful lifelong learners.

We will dare to expect exceptional academic achievement and success.

Vision

Our vision is to inspire our students and to enable every student to achieve as highly as they possibly can through an educational experience that is the best there is. We will set highly challenging expectations for all, and support every member of the Academy community, student, parent, teacher and community partner to help achieve these.

We aim to combine excellence in the academic and personal performance of our students, while equipping them to become highly motivated, adaptable adults and successful lifelong learners.

Our vision focuses on raising aspiration, improving engagement with the learning process, developing leadership skills whilst providing accessible pathways into further and higher education and employment.

Specialisms

The Academy’s specialisms of Mathematics and Business and Enterprise are at the core of our curriculum thinking and will involve every curriculum area both in the shaping of ideas and development of approaches, as well as in the delivery and evaluation of learning opportunities.

Following its specialisms, the Academy will encourage students to create business enterprises and innovative ways of working within the Academy and in links with the community.
