About Newby and Scalby Academy

We believe that a school should be a place where dreams are created and fulfilled; a place where respect is championed and where every child is valued for what they can contribute; a place where excellence is celebrated in whatever sphere that might be; a place where children are driven to aspire for more; a place that values, and promotes motivation, and a place that celebrates success in all its guises.

"Best School DecisionEver!"

My child has thrived at Newby and Scalby Academy. The staff are supportive, and the facilities are top-notch. The values they've instilled in my child are exactly what I want them to learn. I'm so grateful we made the switch!

"Excellent Experience!"

Our child attended Newby and Scalby Academy a few years ago, and we were thoroughly impressed with the education they received. The PSHE program in particular was fantastic, teaching them empathy and responsibility. We're so proud of the person they've become!

"Some Room for Improvement"

We've been relatively happy with the school so far, but we've noticed that the behaviour support system can be a bit patchy. Our child's teacher is lovely, though, and the uniform policy is a good idea. We're hoping for more consistency in the future.
