About Nene Park Academy

We are delighted to welcome you to Nene Park Academy! Located in Peterborough, the school opened its doors to students in 2013. Due to the large increase in our capacity, we opened our brand-new wing in 2018. We have recently completed an extension to our Sixth Form centre so that our facilities match the ambition and high expectations of our students. These facilities have been described as ‘World Class’, which is fitting, given that we have achieved World Class School Status in January 2023.

Nene Park Academy is an educational community whose philosophy embraces the challenges of academic excellence, responsibility and leadership, spiritual awareness, and participation in a wide variety of activities. At Nene Park Academy we quite simply strive to know and support every student to enjoy their learning and be the absolute best versions of themselves.  We are committed to developing students reading, writing and oracy skills; we want to remove barriers to speaking, listening, reading, and writing as quickly as possible so students can access, enjoy, and achieve their full potential at our academy.

In October 2023, our academy received an Ofsted inspection where inspectors were pleased to report that we continued to be a ‘Good’ school. Inspectors found our provision to be ‘Good’ in all original inspection areas of ‘Achievement of pupils, Quality of teaching, Behaviour and safety of pupils, Leadership and management’. It was said in the Ofsted report that pupils are happy at Nene Park Academy, and they value our house system as this helps them to be confident that they are listened to if they have any worries.

As a result of this continued improvement and our students’ recent GCSE results returning a positive Progress 8 score of +0.18, and A Level results of our students being regularly in the top 25% of schools nationally, our academy is now oversubscribed, with 98% of students securing a place with us, putting us as their first choice.

Our staff are hardworking and supportive. We thrive on new challenges, and we work closely together to ensure our students feel happy and safe; our experience tells us that young people work most successfully in a school community that is caring and friendly, yet firm and clear in its expectations and standards.

Alongside the educational impact of partnerships, the school has developed unique community partnerships including one with Peterborough United Football Club.  The school hosts the first teams training ground as well as the POSH Youth Academy, who all attend the school for their formal education. There is also a very successful Education with Football programme for Post 16 students who are able to study an academic curriculum alongside an enhanced competitive football programme that allows them to train and represent the academy and Peterborough United Foundation against local and national football teams such as West Brom, Chelsea, Watford, and Derby to name a few. The girls’ squad are double EFL champions, with past squad members regularly securing university soccer scholarships in the United States.

We are constantly looking for driven, enthusiastic, and skilled professionals to join our team in providing an exceptional education for our students.
