Congratulations to all who have contributed to these great results and a big 'well done' to all of our former Year 11 students.

Thank you for your interest in New Rickstones Academy. The education and care of children is a responsibility we take very seriously, and we are committed to providing the very best in learning and teaching there is available. I am personally very excited by the opportunities our Academy status and closer relationship with the Greensward and Maltings Academies provides. 

We have the chance to lead the way in delivering real improvements not only in learning and teaching but in the overall development of our young people, inspiring them to take up new challenges, develop their talents and broaden their aspirations so that each of them can fulfil his or her full potential.

We at N.R.A. are rightly proud of the successes of our predecessor school, and have bold ambitions to build on and develop this success with our two specialisms, Arts and Mathematics.  We are committed to helping our young people to develop their own interests and talents in a safe and supportive environment. We believe in offering excellent, all-round education to every child, whatever their particular skills and abilities, and will encourage them all to participate as fully as possible in the wide range of activities offered. I do hope you will be able to visit the Academy and see for yourself the difference we are making.
