Isaac Newton Academy opened in September 2012 in Ilford, East London, in brand new, purpose-built accommodation. The Academy has been carefully designed with ARK’s philosophy in mind and has facilities and resources to support a rich and diverse 21st century curriculum. It will have an intake of 180 year 7 pupils each year. When full, in 2018, there will be 1,250 pupils (900 11 – 16 year olds and 350 sixth formers). The Academy benefits from joining a number of successful secondary schools in the diverse Redbridge community as well as being part of the ARK Schools network.
About Isaac Newton Academy
The Academy is a non-selective, co-educational school, with six forms of entry. It is based in new buildings between Ilford High Road and Green Lane in Ilford. The school’s learning community is based upon the core values of mutual respect, personal discipline, and an unwavering commitment on the part of all community members to do whatever it takes to excel. The first cohort of Year 7 pupils arrived in September 2012 and the academy will continue to grow, year on year.
The London Borough of Redbridge forecasts a significant deficit in secondary school places over the coming years. The new Academy will thus serve a critical, long term need for the community. Although the local area encompasses considerable economic disadvantage, its young people achieve some of the best results in London schools. ARK Schools have been chosen to sponsor the academy because of the success of our educational model and the alignment of our educational vision with the Redbridge context.
