Welcome to Nuneaton Academy, where transformation and the pursuit of excellence are at the heart of our educational journey. We are a dedicated team that strives to bring out 'the best in everyone.' Guided by Our Nuneaton Norms, we are committed to creating a learning environment that is not only academically enriching but also emotionally supportive. Nuneaton Academy is an 11-16 coeducational secondary school based in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. We are located within a commutable distance from Coventry, Leicester and Birmingham.
We are part of United Learning, a large, and growing, group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England. United Learning schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. The subject specialists, Group-wide intranet, own curriculum, and online learning portal all help us share knowledge and resource, helping to simplify work processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance. As a Group, we can reward our staff better: with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits, and ultimately, the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff wellbeing. Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’.
