It is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to you from Noel-Baker Academy. I feel incredibly privileged as Headteacher to represent the incredible work undertaken by my staff in nurturing and developing the ambitions and interests of the children of our community. At Noel- Baker, I truly believe that every child is encouraged to be extraordinary.
My staff and I are dedicated to fostering an environment of excellence and high aspirations. Our mission is to ensure that each student is provided with the opportunities and support necessary to fulfil their individual potential. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of education, nurturing a culture of ambition, and instilling a lifelong love of learning.
Every member of our school community, is challenged daily to be the best version of ourselves – be that through our conduct, our endeavour or our personal resilience. Success rarely comes easily, and the most worthwhile achievements are earned through hard work and dedication. That is not to say that learning should not be fun, and we aim to encourage intellectual curiosity by delivering a rigorous and enriching curriculum. We set high expectations for all our students, encouraging them to strive for excellence in all that they do.
Our core values of Lead, Empower, Achieve, and Drive underpin our focus upon developing well rounded and successful young people. Through our curriculum and wide extra-curricular offer, we aim to build character, and I am proud to lead a school in which integrity, empathy and social justice are as highly prized as academic outcomes.
We recognise that the partnership between home and school is fundamental to the success of our students. We value open communication and collaboration with parents and guardians, and we are eager to work together to support your child’s educational journey. When trusted adults show genuine interest in a child’s ambitions, interests and achievements they attend more frequently, they progress more rapidly, and they thrive in school. Parental involvement and encouragement are vital in helping us achieve our shared goal of providing the very best educational experience for all our children.
If you want to find out more about what we do at Noel-Baker, I encourage you invest a little time to explore our website and see a small portion of the incredible achievements of our wonderful students. Hopefully, you will gleam a little of what makes our school so special.
Esse extraordinarium!
Paul Greenough – Headteacher

in school really does matter, especially when
working towards GCSE exams.

Helping Your Child Manage Stress and Feel Ready for School 💛
Feeling worried or stressed can sometimes make it harder for young people to attend school. One of the best ways families can help is by encouraging simple ways to relax, build confidence, and cope with everyday challenges.
Small, positive habits practiced regularly can make a big difference in helping children feel calmer, supported, and ready to learn.

Every school day matters. 📚
Regular attendance helps children learn more, grow in confidence, and build strong friendships. Each lesson builds on the one before it, so being in school every day supports steady progress and success.
Here’s how you can help support great attendance.

Work experience can bring a mix of excitement and nerves for every student — and this year was no different! 🎉✨
Our Year 10 students have had an incredible week 23rd – 27th February, with many heading out to local businesses and employers 🏢🤝, while others embraced the unique opportunity to complete their placements within school 🏫.
We were especially proud of those who chose to stay with us. While that may have felt a little daunting, it was also an exciting chance to experience their own school from a completely different perspective 👀
All our students during this week showed real maturity, professionalism and confidence 🌟 — giving us a glimpse of young people truly ready to step into the world of work, with responsibility and even a little humour along the way 😊
Moments like these remind us just how fantastic all our students are. We’re so proud of all they’ve achieved during their work experience week — and even more excited for what’s still to come in the future.
