Welcome to

NexGen Academy

We’re a small innovative independent school, specifically set up to meet the needs of children with additional educational needs.

At NexGen we believe that to truly flourish children must feel valued. So, we focus on what each pupil can achieve, through a personalised approach, and we celebrate their successes at every opportunity.

Whether a student is part-time or full-time, NexGen Academy aims to get them ‘back on track’, reviving their passion for learning and for life.
Young people will be taught in small groups – a typical group size is five pupils with two members of staff supporting their individual needs. We can also provide one-to-one teaching where necessary.
We are delighted to share the exceptional exam results achieved by our Year 11 students this academic year. Please view them at the link below.

Our Year 11 results
At NexGen we aim to help pupils modify their behaviour, enable them to be successful learners and become young adults able to cope with the demands of life, and contribute well to the community they live in.
Parents and carers have a vital role to play in encouraging good behaviour. For the school policy to be effective, pupils, parents, carers and staff must work together to help ensure that pupils are able to achieve and become successful learners.
NexGen Academy is a nurturing environment and we all work to the 6 principles that underpin the work of nurture groups –
1. Children’s learning is understood developmentally.
2. The classroom offers a safe base.
3. Nurture is important for the development of self esteem.
4. Language is understood as a vital means of communication.
5. All behaviour is communication.
6. Transitions are significant in the lives of children.
All pupils are asked to ‘Pledge allegiance to their Classroom,’ by signing their classroom pledge –
- To treat each new day as an exciting opportunity, even if yesterday wasn’t great.
- To be kind to everyone, even the people that drive us crazy.
- To complete our work on time and to the best of our ability, despite the pressures of our social lives.
- To believe in ourselves and know that we can achieve everything we put our growing minds to.
- To fulfil our side of the teaching and learning partnership, every lesson of every day, so that we may go into the world doing brilliant and wonderful things.

Our Mission

All students are the Next Generation. At NexGen Academy, we’re here to help them to believe in themselves, realise their potential, achieve a successful social and academic future, and enable them to sustain this throughout their lives.
