Welcome to New Rickstones Academy

Welcome to New Rickstones, an 11-18 academy situated in North Witham. It is an exciting time as the New Rickstones Academy of today is a place where we aim to get the best out of every one of our students.  Whether it is our most gifted and talented, who regularly go to university, or the student who needs extra help; everystudent at New Rickstones Academy is valued as an individual in their own right.

New Rickstones Academy benefits from a new £25 million state-of-the-art building and facilities that opened in February 2012. Not only does the building encompass an impressive atrium, the very best Science and ICT facilities and high quality performance spaces; it also has purpose built vocational studios for Construction and Hair & Beauty. We also share our site with the Academies Enterprise Trust’s (AET) National Teaching School Alliance; the government’s initiative to train highly effective teachers from across the UK directly in schools rather than universities.

Our primary aim is to ensure that all students fulfil their potential, but I am aware that they have a great deal to learn and much to enjoy in all that they do beyond their formal lessons. We therefore look to provide a wide range of sporting, cultural and adventurous activities for students to participate in, through which they can learn to work co-operatively and develop their leadership skills.

We hope to create an environment which promotes an independent work ethic and encourages all students to acquire a love of learning. I want students to enjoy their school life and be inspired by their lessons, whilst providing each one of them with an academic challenge that enables them to realise their potential. Alongside this, we are committed to nurturing a supportive community which encourages a sense of social responsibility and personal development for all at New Rickstones.

This is a challenging task, but my responsibility is to ensure that we fulfil our aims and build on our achievements so as to enable current and future students from New Rickstones Academy to be well prepared for the challenges of life in the 21st century.

Trenica King, Headteacher

At New Rickstones we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to have a life that can be described as good quality, free from fear and danger where they can give and receive respect to and from others with a sense of wellbeing, belonging, worth and achievement. Individuals are supported to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need for their future success. The Academy has a diverse and vigorous programme of extra curricular activities. We encourage students to participate in these activities as we believe that this helps them form extended friendship groups, develop a wider range of interests and develop skills which they can use to support their learning and in their future careers.

We would be delighted for you to visit the Academy, education is very different now to when you were at school, so call in and see us, take a walk around our lovely new school and see how modern technology is used to enhance learning, how the students are made aware that they are part of the global society and what learning looks like today. You never know you may even want to return yourself.
