Isaac Newton is a new, three form entry primary/six form entry secondary, mixed 4-18 comprehensive in Redbridge.

In September 2012 Isaac Newton Academy opened with its inaugural cohort of 180 year 7 students. The school will grow, year on year, to become an 11-18 academy of 1250 students with specialist status in mathematics and music. In 2014 the primary phase of the academy opened to 90 reception-aged children. This too will grow each year, until full in September 2020.

In June 2014 Isaac Newton Academy was judged to be ‘outstanding’ by OFSTED.
