West Newcastle Academy

I have been this school as a volunteer. I would like to say, that staff working there, who are reliable, confident and very helpful. I had incredible experience there and I have learnt many things form Khadeeja and Rebecca. I want to say many many thanks for this wonderful opportunity.

I'm sure it's a great school. My mum hates living next to it She has lived here for 20 years. Now elderly and disabled she can't stand the noise of the screaming kids she's had enough. The school should not have been placed right next to housing for the elderly. My mum has deteriorated health wise since this school was built. I moved back into mums for a bit started working nights I had to move jobs because I couldn't sleep during the day because of the racket the kids make

A wonderful school, focused on developing children as individual learners as part of an outdoors and play based learning approach. Adopting a unique blend of pedagogy founded on the Reggio approach, children learn to explore the world through various games that are centred on building and developing knowledge and resilience for future success. Brilliant, well designed and ensures children make good (or better) progress.

What an amazing school and staff. I really have a great appreciation for what they do for my son, especially susan" is really really nice woman. I never seen a respectful teacher like her in my life. Thanks guys."

I’ve just left this school, and oh boy. It is such a life-changing school to go to. My mum has worked and lived around WNA for years, and I have no words. The staff care for individuals, and are genuinely real and down-to-earth people. If you are considering it, send your kid to this school! Genuinely life changing.

An outstanding Free School" in the West Newcastle area.Currently in temporary accommodation on the Benwell Nature Park site.This school is almost 4yrs old and both my children attend (Reception and Yr2)Teachers

I've not known any other good schools in Newcastle that beat WNA! All the staff, right from Susan, the headteacher are AMAZING! My girls, Rana & Aymal had a great time and learned so much during their time in the school. Thank you Susan and all the staff. And the Friends of Newcastle Academy. As once a member, I always enjoyed the activities we organised for our children and the school. You too are amazing.

I have3 children in the school,the eldest in year6,second in year 5 and 3rd in year 1.i couldn't wish for a better school,small and friendly,my children all made amazing progress during the years.in my kids classes the problem of bullying is almost inexistent except isolated cases,the school is based on the model of stainer/montessory giveng the kids the possibility to learn through playing and exploring,lots of time spent out of the school,especially during early years.i am very sad this is my daughter last year at the school,because a secondary school like this doesn't exist...I really hope they will build one in the future because it is what Newcastle and our kids from wna needs
