Our School:

Newcastle Academy is one of Staffordshire\'s fastest improving secondary schools. We recently celebrated the best exam results in our school’s 57-year history. For the first time ever, half of all students achieved standard passes (Grade 4/C) in English and Maths. The numbers achieving strong passes (Grade 5) doubled from the year before. More young people than ever before are now able to progress to further education, employment or training because of their hard work, the support of their parents and carers, the dedication of our staff and the expertise of the wider Windsor Academy Trust family.

We firmly believe in the importance of all of our students achieving an excellent education, which in turn enables our students to believe that they can achieve their dreams with hard work, determination and self-motivation.
