We are dedicated to continuing to build opportunities for pupils to achieve the highest academic standards ensuring that they are known well as individuals and that their unique personalities, talents, and interests are given the opportunities to flourish within and beyond the classroom.

We involve parents in their children’s learning and encourage them to be active members of the school community. Parent communication is organized to encourage wide participation and honest conversation. We expect all parents to support their children’s educational aspirations and achievements. The school curriculum is designed to match the Early Years Foundation Stage and National Curriculums and is characterized by “Depth to Enable Breadth". Our Curriculum has evolved from Brian Males and Ed Hirsch's ideas of curriculum development and our drive for depth before breadth. The roots of our tree symbolize the key skills and values that will ensure our pupils are stable and have the fundamental skills to turn their dreams into reality. Our trunk symbolizes the strength of their character and the experiences that mold them while the leaves and branches are the concepts the pupils learn throughout their life. As our pupils grow and the seasons change, their knowledge grows, their opinions change, and sometimes their ideas are strengthened. The seed that starts our journey is based on the ‘Talk for Writing’, Busy Ants, and ‘Not as you know it’ curriculum. Our approach aims to engage and motivate our pupils using quality text that is studied over several weeks. Cross-curricular links are made to support children’s understanding of the text. For example, they could be reading the book ‘Carries war and studying World War II in History. View full school

Our staff is experts in deciding upon the most effective teaching strategies for the children in their class to achieve the objectives of the lesson. These might be in the classroom or somewhere else entirely, whether on the school premises or otherwise. Children's understanding and skill development are continually assessed by the class teacher. This may be done through written work, drawing, speaking, observation, play, and discussion. These formative (informal) assessments help the teachers to plan follow-up, extension, or consolidation activities for the children. We also expect our children to engage in thinking about their learning, assessing their strengths and weaknesses, and setting themselves targets to work to achieve. View full school

Nightingale Primary School cultivates an environment for life-long learning that celebrates the achievement of all children and acknowledges their strengths. We enhance the development of the whole child through high expectations, clear targets, and positive encouragement. We enhance learning by providing an exciting, creative, and culturally relevant curriculum. We enhance the community by working in partnership with parents, professionals, and other agencies. Nightingale has a strong tradition of being supportive and caring. Our school is one where mutual respect, good manners, politeness, and high attendance and achievement is the expectation and this is shared by all our community. The Department for Education has reinforced the need for schools to ‘actively promote’ the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. This ensures young people understand the importance of respect and leave school fully prepared for life in modern Britain. Nightingale is a diverse school. We actively promote diversity through our celebrations of different faiths and cultures, religious education lessons, curriculum, and choice of text, for example, Shakespeare to Benjamin Zephaniah. Members of different faiths and religions are encouraged to share their knowledge to enhance learning within classes and the school. The children visit places of worship that are important to different faiths. At Nightingale Primary School the Governors strongly support a fully inclusive education, where special needs are appropriately supported and talents nurtured. We attach great importance to the pastoral care of our children and the development of a caring school is something which runs through all we do at Nightingale.

We work with community and family to deliver a curriculum that is varied, stimulating, and sympathetic to the complex needs experienced by the children in our care.

Our vision is for Nightingale Community Academy students to leave school as confident learners and participative citizens, having gained the skills, qualifications, and attributes that will enable them to take their place in wider society. Our mission is to provide education, support, and guidance that enable students to learn and achieve, Fulfil their academic potential, Be included in society, Overcome their barriers to learning, Behave and interact appropriately with others, adults and peers and Make appropriate choices. A code of conduct for the way we live together in our school community is drawn up with the children in each classroom and regularly reinforced. The following is our constitution throughout the school. This is shared with parents/carers and students respect me and others and treat everyone with kindness, keep myself and others safe, make good choices that help me to learn, be in the right place at the right time, ask for help and Stop think and then act responsibly. Nightingale Community Academy provides students with a curriculum that is broad and balanced but is also adapted to suit their specific needs. Students come to Nightingale with very different levels of prior education. Many have been out of school or out of the classroom for a significant period before they gain a place at Nightingale all students have one or more Special Educational Need which has hindered their learning in the past, and there are often significant gaps in their learning as a result. Our curriculum, therefore, aims to close these gaps, particularly in the key skills of literacy and numeracy, whilst ensuring that we open the mind of our students to a wide range of knowledge and experiences which will help them to define and achieve their ambitions. At Nightingale Community Academy we take pride in challenging all students to strive for academic, creative, sporting, and personal accomplishment within a broad, vibrant and enriched curriculum. As well as focusing on the National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2, the primary school aims to equip all of its students with the skills necessary for success. At Key Stage 3, students follow the current National Curriculum but, as in the Primary School, the emphasis is on ensuring that students strengthen their literacy and numeracy skills (students have daily sessions in addition to their English and maths lessons) to support their progress across other areas of the curriculum, and to support their move towards independence, both in their learning and their daily lives. The Nightingale Community Academy curriculum at Key Stage 3 is thematic, which allows teachers to plan and adapt lessons to meet the individual needs and interests of the students. Although English, maths, and science are taught discretely, teachers provide rich opportunities for cross-curricular writing, scientific exploration, and applied numeracy skills within the themed topic lessons. Creating and highlighting meaningful links between these core areas of learning and the topic theme provides an opportunity for progression in both breadth and depth of learning. In Key Stage 4, all students continue to study English and maths daily and are entered for suitable qualifications in these core subjects for the vast majority of our students this is the GCSE, however, for some students, this may be a Functional Skills or Entry Level Certificate. In addition to English and maths, there is a broad range of qualifications on offer. Most of our students in Years 10 and 11 will study for the History GCSE and will continue with Science to GCSE, BTEC, or Entry Level. Many of our students stay on roll at Nightingale Community Academy for the Sixth Form. The school can offer a full-time provision for students, or they may choose to study a course at a local college for several days each week and attend Nightingale for pastoral support or extra help with English, maths, or coursework. The full-time offer is comprised of a combination of the following qualifications, tailored to the needs of the student, English, and maths GCSE resits (some students may be sitting these exams for the first time if they have not previously been entered) or Functional Skills qualifications where these are more appropriate to the student’s needs and abilities.
