The Elizabethan Academy is a very successful 11-18 school located in Retford in North Nottinghamshire.  This area is a most attractive rural location with a good range of housing.  Retford is a chartered market town with a population of some 25,000 inhabitants in an attractive rural setting.  The town is close to the A1 and the M1.  Sheffield, Lincoln, Doncaster and the Peak District can all be reached within the hour.  Leeds,  Nottingham and the Yorkshire Dales take just over an hour.

The Academy is very popular within the local community and has currently 1,200 students.  It draws students from 9 “family” feeder schools in the town and surrounding villages but through parental choice we take in from over 30 primary schools.  In 2011 the school was graded “Good” by OFSTED.  We converted to a stand-alone Academy on 1 April 2012.

In April 2007, we moved into brand new purpose-built accommodation as part of a PFI project for 6 schools in Bassetlaw. Year 7 to 13 are housed together in purpose-built accommodation, organised into Faculty areas. Facilities for Science, Technology, the Expressive Arts and Sport are excellent. We were excited to have officially opened our 9-metre-high climbing wall in 2021! Thanks to funding from Sport England, the wall is available for use of all students as well being available to hire, offering an exciting new sport to local Bassetlaw people.

We offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities to enrich the curriculum for our students.  We have excellent links with the business community and are well supported by local companies and community groups.

Our core values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience (3R’S) reflect our ethos. Respect is one of the cornerstones of the Elizabethan: respect for others’ beliefs and respect for others’ differences. Just as critical, however, is self-respect and self-discipline. Students are expected and taught to take responsibility for their actions and their learning.

Our students must also be effective team players and independent learners.

Building student resilience is vital to support student mental health and well-being. They need confidence, courage, and self-belief to show strength of character when things aren’t successful, preparing them for  society.

The Academy’s ethos is evident at every level of the organisation : staff, students, parents and governors are committed to valuing each person as a unique individual. We believe that every child can be successful and that the role of adults is to give them the confidence that anything is possible.

As a learning community, we value the contribution that everyone makes to maintaining high quality in teaching and learning.  Therefore, all staff who join our Academy can expect a thorough and supportive induction programme when they join us, and will be expected to develop both professionally and personally.

“Relationships between teachers and pupils are very positive." "Considerable emphasis is placed on pupils’ personal development and wellbeing." "The school is welcoming, caring and inclusive." "Teachers have strong subject knowledge." "Pupils benefit from a wide range of enriching activities." "Pupils in all year groups in a range of subjects are making good progress." "Behaviour is good.” (Ofsted 2018)
