Quarrydale is a mixed 11-18 academy of around 1100 pupils, with approximately 130 sixth formers.
We are situated in the town of Sutton-in-Ashfield, which is located between Sherwood Forest, the peak district and the City of Nottingham. Connections to major conurbations in the region are excellent, housing is affordable and access to leisure facilities, and areas of cultural, natural and industrial heritage is good.
The academy itself is a popular and exciting place to work, with a friendly atmosphere and a real sense of team work. The students are well behaved and Ofsted graded us as ‘Good’ in March 2017.
The education we offer at Quarrydale is built around a highly qualified team of staff committed to delivering a quality education to all our students in a calm, safe and secure environment where high quality learning can take place effectively. We work in partnership with parents to ensure that every child receives the best possible education and takes pride in being part of our successful and caring community.
At Quarrydale we combine our traditional values with the very latest teaching methods and technologies to inspire our students to succeed in everything they do. We have very high expectations of our students and place great emphasis on self-discipline, self-respect, hard work, achievement and high standards of behaviour.
We are committed to the pursuit of excellence, both in terms of the achievement of students and the quality of educational provision we deliver on a daily basis. We want to encourage all learners to develop a love of learning and enable everyone to reach the highest standards of which they are capable of.
We believe that achievement is closely linked to self-belief, motivation, support and that with encouragement students will excel and be proud of doing well and fulfilling their potential.The best achievements usually occur where a true partnership has been established between home, school and the student and all parties work together to strive for the best possible outcome.
We want every Quarrydale student to learn, achieve, maximise their potential and meet all of their aspirations and ambitions. Quarrydale students know that we expect nothing less than their personal best, and we will guide and support them to rise to that challenge.
