Message from the Principal...
Thank you for visiting!
I am delighted to welcome you to our rapidly improving school, Rushden Academy. We are part of a highly successful trust called Tove Learning Trust (TLT) and have excellent collaborative networks across the trust. Staff really enjoy working at Rushden Academy and our high staff retention figures demonstrate this fully.
Team Rushden are on the cusp of something great, our results are rapidly improving and our intake numbers are increasing. Visitors are impressed when they visit our school commenting on the strong Team Rushden values permeating across all aspects of school life. We have built a culture where together, students and staff are united in transforming our school.
We are proud of our achievements to date and regularly communicate this widely. There is a strong drive to excel in lessons and to behave respectfully towards each other and our community. We are proud of the curriculum that we have on offer, not only does it deliver the content pupils need to excel in today’s society but it also develops their imaginations.
Our sixth form provision, The East Northamptonshire College (TENC), is shared with two local secondary schools, sharing our expertise not only at KS5 but also at KS4 with cross moderation and quality assurance systems. We also have an outstanding nursery onsite, which is open term-time only and many of our staff use this excellent provision for their children.

Welcome back the calendar looks busy from now until December and I am sure it will be another hard working but fun packed half term. We are looking at how we can involve the community more and looking at how we can support our most vulnerable neighbours during the harsh winter months. We have a Learning for Life Day and at some point all pupils will be having subject assessments with Y10 and Y11 sitting some mock exam papers in the Sports Hall. All pupils will be receiving reports at the end of the term but of course you can keep updated by using Go4Schools.

We have had a very productive half term, our Year 7 pupils have settled very quickly, I think it took 3 days on average for our pupils to find their way around, and now it seems like that they have always been here. We had a lot of Year 6 pupils and their parents visit this half term, not only joining us on Open Evening but also during the normal school day. This term our pupils have continued to demonstrate Team Rushden values superbly and the compliments keep flowing. There is a draft version of the Admission Policy on our website for consultation. If you would like to comment on this please email the school on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by 8th November.
