Our Vision: Bringing Out 'The Best in Everyone'
At Nuneaton Academy, our vision is to bring out 'The Best in Everyone.' This vision drives every aspect of our educational approach, ensuring that each student, staff member, and community participant strives for excellence. Through our Nuneaton Norms and the embodiment of the Nuneaton Spirit, we foster an environment where respect, responsiveness, and resoluteness are at the forefront of our culture.
Our Nuneaton Norms
Our Nuneaton Norms serve as the foundational principles of student culture and guide our transformative journey at Nuneaton Academy.
We are respectful, showing kindness and courtesy at all times
At Nuneaton academy, we believe that a respectful and kind environment is essential for fostering positive relationships and creating a supportive atmosphere. We encourage our students to embody kindness and courtesy in all interactions. Treating one another with respect not only nurtures strong bonds within our school family but also prepares our students to thrive in a diverse and interconnected world.
We are responsive, following instructions right away, without question
We instil in our students the importance of embracing challenges head-on and following instructions promptly. This willingness to be accountable not only empowers them to excel academically but also nurtures the essential life skill of adaptability. By embracing instruction with enthusiasm, our students are better equipped to navigate the complexities of their educational journey and beyond.
We are resolute, showing determination through hard work
Determination is the driving force behind achievement. We encourage our students to approach their studies and extracurricular activities with unwavering resolve. Through hard work, dedication, and a commitment to continuous improvement, our students learn the value of perseverance. This resolute attitude not only shapes their academic outcomes but also paves the way for lifelong success.
These norms are not just rules but the foundational principles that shape our daily interactions and aspirations. They guide us in our journey of growth and progress, creating a learning environment that is both academically enriching and emotionally supportive.

Part of United Learning
United Learning is a group of schools committed to providing excellent education through which all pupils are able to progress, achieve and go on to succeed in life. Our approach is underpinned by a sense of moral purpose and commitment to doing what is right for children and young people, supporting colleagues to achieve excellence and acting with integrity in all our dealings within and beyond the organisation, in the interests of young people everywhere. We summarise this ethos as ‘the best in everyone’.
This ethos underpins our core values:
- Ambition - to achieve the best for ourselves and others;
- Confidence - to have the courage of our convictions and to take risks in the right cause;
- Creativity - to imagine possibilities and make them real;
- Respect - for ourselves and others in all that we do;
- Enthusiasm - to seek opportunity, find what is good and pursue talents and interests;
- Determination - to overcome obstacles and reach success.
Our values were selected in consultation with United Learning students and staff across the country. As a single organisation, we seek to bring together the best of independent and state sectors, respecting both traditions and learning from each. We believe that each of our schools is and should be distinctive - each is committed to developing its own strengths and identity while sharing our core values as institutions which promote service, compassion and generosity.
This ethos is our expression of our Christian roots, in schools which are fully inclusive and both welcome and respect students and staff of all faiths and none.
