School Description

The school is smaller than the average-sized secondary school. The Newark Academy was established in November 2012. The headteacher has been in post since May 2016. A senior leader for closing the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers was appointed in June 2016. The school is currently sponsored by the Lincoln College Academy Trust. The Torch Academy Gateway Trust is taking over as sponsor from September 2016. The large majority of pupils are White British, with a lower than average proportion from minority ethnic backgrounds. Very few pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities is above average. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium, which is additional government funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and for children looked after by the local authority, is broadly in line with the national average. A very small number of pupils are enrolled on alternative courses at Maple, a shared provision with Magnus Church of England School, and at Acorn and Hill Holt. The school does not meet requirements on the publication of specified information on its website. The school does not meet the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics by the end of Year 11.
