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.

Last week was a busy week and I am pleased to report that the school continues to be calm, the classrooms are busy learning environments and the students are happy in their learning. It is a pleasure to walk our corridors with visitors to see how Team Rushden operate on a daily basis.Last week was a busy week and I am pleased to report that the school continues to be calm, the classrooms are busy learning environments and the students are happy in their learning.

Welcome back
I am really thrilled that our year 9 pupils got to see Tim Peake’s Spacecraft tour when the Science touring exhibition came to Rushden Academy this week. Our pupils used virtual reality to experience what it feels like to sit inside the Soyuz’s descent module as it makes its dangerous high-speed journey back to earth. It certainly made some of our pupils feel quite travel sick.
Year 11 have had 1 to 1 interviews with leaders in the school to discuss their next steps and there will be further careers meetings with external advisors to help prepare them for their futures either at TENC college or beyond. We obviously have a journey before then.
