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.
Mrs Jane Burton
Principal
Rushden Academy
Good afternoon
Welcome back to a really exciting term. The end of the formal examinations for Y11 and Y13; the start of mock examinations for Y10 and the end of year exams for Key stage 3 pupils. We will also be hosting our sports day and watching the Addams Family performance, both of which are always stunning. As we say our goodbyes to the Y11 and Y13 leavers we will be welcoming our new Y6’s this half term too. But we will keep you updated in our weekly bulletin as we go along.
Good afternoon
A fantastic end to a short intense half term. The examination period is going well and pupils are really putting in the effort needed to succeed. The half term break has punctuated the exam season perfectly as some of the pupils are looking incredibly tired and need to catch their breath and re-charge.
