Nelson Academy is a primary academy based in Downham Market, Norfolk and is part of Eastern Multi-Academy Trust.  We offer a range of educational opportunities to pupils from Nursery to Year 6. 

Our ethos is one of inclusion, equality, excellence and enjoyment.  We have high expectations for our children to achieve their full potential. 

We recognise that a child's learning journey begins with us at Nelson Academy and extends beyond our doors.  We are committed to providing all of our children with the tools and support they need to develop them academically, personally, and socially, ensuring they hold the knowledge, skills and values they need to thrive in an ever changing world.

In addition to providing professional development opportunities, we also value our staff's contribution to our wider community.  We encourage our staff to get involved with extracurricular initiatives, providing them the opportunity to make a difference to the lives of our pupils.  We believe that a strong sense of community is essential to a thriving school environment.
