Whenever we welcome new visitors into The Samworth Church Academy, they very
often comment on the sense of positivity, energy and general friendliness you
feel as soon as you enter the building. Our Academy is a special place which is
only confirmed when you meet with our young people and the staff that support
them. Lisa McVeigh The Academy was established in 2008 by joint sponsors Sir
David Samworth and the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. Their vision was to
create an inclusive place where people and students come first and where
students can be educated holistically as well as academically and leave prepared
for a long and happy adult life – 70 plus great years. Our emphasis and
exploration of our Christian values, as well as our membership of the
international Round Square organisation, encourages students to ‘Be The Best
They Can Be’ and to explore their own (perhaps hidden) talents and potential in
a wide range of ways. Our beautiful and lovingly cared for campus houses a range
of sometimes unexpected facilities including a climbing wall, high ropes course,
Dance Studio and Drama Pod, a Combined Cadet Force, a fully functioning
hairdressing salon and well populated animal care unit. We are also committed to
delivering the best academic education we can for our young people and to
training and supporting our teachers to be the best and most innovative teachers
they can be. Our teaching facilities are modern and well-equipped and we are
always looking for ways to improve them further. We are very proud of what has
been achieved by our fantastic young people in the past and excited at the
limitless potential of current and future students. If you would like to find
out more about what they get up to, this website is a great place to start but
also please get in touch with any further questions or for a look around the
Academy at work at any time of the year. We would be very happy to demonstrate
how inspiring our students are and to give you a flavour of the wonderful things
they achieve as they strive to ‘Be The Best They Can Be’.
