We are a thriving and varied school community who value all of our children’s many talents whether they be academic, sporting, creative or otherwise.

We set high expectations for all members of our community – adults and children alike – and we take pleasure in celebrating their many achievements. We are very proud of our school which offers a caring environment where children happily explore a rich and diverse curriculum.

Our school vision is:

To ensure our children are given the opportunities to DREAM of a bright future, BELIEVE in themselves, and ACHIEVE their highest potential in school and throughout their life so that they can truly make a difference wherever they go.

Our aim is to ensure that all children are able to learn and thrive in a learning environment that is built on mutual respect. Our core values are a fundamental part of school life and enable us to show PRIDE in all that we do:

P – Positivity
R – Respect
I –  Integrity
D – Determination
E – Excellence

PRIDE will be referred to daily during lessons and assemblies and pupils and staff have a good understanding of how their actions reflect each value and support a cohesive community. Our children at Newton Road will be expected to show our values on a daily basis and of course this will be recognised.

We are aware of the vitally important part that we play in a child’s upbringing as children spend a great deal of their time at school. Therefore, the role we play is so very important and we take the responsibility very seriously.

The school is pleased to be part of the Nene Education Trust which comprises 7 great academies located in East Northamptonshire. We are proud of our academies, students and staff and the communities they serve. Each academy has its own unique character, but we are united in passionately believing that all our young people should have the opportunity to develop character, be aspirational and achieve their goals.

We strongly believe in a collaborative approach, sharing educational and operational expertise and our geographical location makes this easier and truly possible. As partners in this Trust, we aim for all our academies to strive for excellence and benefit from strong leadership, innovative pedagogy and by sharing good practice and resources.

Working for Us

We have expectations and recognise that our staff are key to our success which is why we aim to recruit, develop and retain talented and highly skilled people that share our ethos and believe in our mission to develop character, raise aspirations celebrate achievement.

Health and wellbeing

The health and wellbeing of our staff are important to us. We firmly believe that healthy, happy staff make for a positive and productive workforce, a thriving and dynamic environment and engaged and achieving young people. Our approach to staff wellbeing continues to evolve as we look for ways to further enhance the working environment and wellbeing of our staff. We offer:

· 24/7 access to a free Employee Assistance Programme to provide confidential advice and guidance on any personal and/or work-related matter

· Free Mindfulness training with a qualified and experienced professional

· An open and collaborative working environment, not just within your academy but also across the Trust where innovation is encouraged

· Discounted gym membership at the secondary school

· Commitment to exploring ways to reduce email traffic and confine email replies to office hours – while recognising our employees preferences for when they work

· Commitment to continuously review workload issues and explore options for simpler, less onerous methods and processes.

Professional development

We have a long track record of ‘growing our own’ and are committed to providing professional development opportunities for all staff. These include:

· Our in-house Leadership Pathways programme which offers bespoke training for middle and senior leaders.

· Access to Nationally Recognised Professional Qualifications and other external programmes including the Chartered Teacher Programme.

· Support (both financial and with study time) for other professional development programmes including MBAs and role specific qualifications including AAT.

· There are also opportunities for staff to experience secondments at other academies in the Trust, collaborate with colleagues and work on exciting projects across the organisation. These opportunities will become more abundant as the Trust grows.
