Our Nursery, Reception and Year 1 classes are nested in the forest of Benwell Nature Park where outdoor learning takes place for 40% of the learning week. Our children in the main school access outdoor learning and community learning in addition to our rich and balanced curriculum.
Our community lunchtimes are special and central to our day where children and team share food and naturally strengthen relationships through conversation and connection.
At West Newcastle Academy, our vision is that all children will achieve their full potential through evidence-based pedagogies and holistic support gaining an authentic and deep:
• Connection to self
• Connection to a rich variety of environments
• Connection to their peers, our team and their community
• Connection to learning for life.

Kindest Regards,
Ben Wassall- Headteacher
