The academy is situated at the heart of its community in Worksop. Worksop is known as the "Gateway to the Dukeries" due to its proximity to several historic ducal estates, including Clumber Park, Thoresby Hall, Welbeck Abbey and Worksop Manor.

We are deeply committed to putting students first, raising standards and transforming lives. We believe that learning should be both enjoyable and enriching, allowing students to make exceptional progress. Our knowledge‑rich curriculum is designed to personalise learning for every student, helping them to reach their potential.

As a family, we celebrate each other's successes, stand by each other in challenging times and work together with a shared sense of purpose. If you share our values, come and join our school family.
