28th September 2012
We have, in the last 10 minutes, received our approval for full conversion from the Secretary of State for Education – Michael Gove.
This is the result of a huge amount of work from a lot of people – governors included – but especially Nigel Goodall and his Finance and HR Team to whom we are profoundly grateful.
We enter into another key part of our journey towards becoming an outstanding academy!
This is great news with which to start our weekend!

We have, today, received official notification from OFSTED of the results of our inspection of 25th and 26th April 2013.
There have been a variety of items uploaded to the website recently, here is a list of the most important changes.
Our students and staff are busy, today, celebrating another great set of A Level results in Nunthorpe Sixth Form – our third ever!
The average points score per subject entry is a very strong 215.55 points, an increase of 8.21 points on our 2011 results. Female points per student increased to 836.21 points from 669 points from 2011. Our A Level students achieved an A*-E pass rate of 100%; an A*-A pass rate of 26.4%; and an A*-B pass rate of 51.4%. In 2011, the national A*-E pass rate was 97.8% – we thus predict that we will be way above the national average when the 2012 A Level performance data is published later in the coming Autumn Term.
Our students and staff are busy, today, celebrating a superb set of GCSE results. The main performance measure the government uses now for all secondary schools is that of 5x A*-C GCSE grades which must include GCSE English and GCSE Maths. Our results here are 76.5% – a record for our school and a spectacular 21.5% increase since our 2009 GCSE results. In 2011, the national average for this measure was 54.8%; we are thus very pleased indeed.
Parents will be able to access the first Interim Report for this academic year from within the Learning Gateway from Tuesday 27 November. The documents attached to this News post give an explanation of the report and the changes we have made for the coming academic year. As ever parents who have specific concerns regarding their son/daughters progress should, in the first instance, contact the subject teacher or their son/daughters tutor. Paper copies will be distributed to students during the week beginning 26 November.
Nunthorpe Academy was honoured to welcome David Laws, Education Minister to officially open the Academy on Thursday 24 January 2013.
