Enrichment

At Nuneaton Academy, we are committed to developing well-rounded young people who not only achieve academic success but also demonstrate strong character and integrity. We embed character education throughout all aspects of school life, ensuring that students consistently reflect our core values of being Respectful, Responsive, and Resolute. Through both the curriculum and wider opportunities, we support students in becoming confident, compassionate, and responsible citizens.
Pupils are actively encouraged to participate in a wide range of enrichment opportunities. Whether through extracurricular clubs, house competitions, fundraising events, educational visits, or leadership roles, students are supported in discovering their interests, developing new skills, and building character beyond the classroom. These experiences develop teamwork, resilience, and a sense of belonging—preparing students to become well-rounded, confident individuals ready to succeed in all aspects of life.

Extracurricular clubs

At Nuneaton Academy, we believe in providing a rich and varied educational experience, and this includes a strong commitment to opportunities beyond the classroom. Each subject area aims to offer at least one educational visit per year, allowing pupils to extend their learning, experience new environments, and build cultural capital. Alongside curriculum-based trips, we also offer reward visits to recognise positive behaviour and achievement, as well as careers-focused opportunities such as university visits and employer engagement days. In addition, pupils have the chance to represent the Academy in a range of sporting fixtures, competitions, and events throughout the year. Taking part in school teams and representing the Academy in the wider community builds teamwork, resilience, pride, and a sense of responsibility—supporting our aim to develop well-rounded individuals who are respectful, responsive, and resolute.

Educational visits

At Nuneaton Academy, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom, and we are proud to offer a broad range of educational visits to enrich our pupils' experiences. Our aim is for every subject area to provide at least one educational visit each year, allowing pupils to deepen their understanding, apply their learning in real-world contexts, and broaden their cultural capital. In addition to subject-specific trips, we also offer a variety of reward visits to celebrate pupil achievement, as well as careers-focused opportunities such as university visits, employer encounters, and industry tours. These experiences play a key role in raising aspirations, developing independence, and helping pupils to make informed choices about their future pathways.
