    At New Invention Learning Academy I believe that we teach your child today for their tomorrow. Including skills that they can use now and for the rest of their lives but also keeping in touch with traditional values, such as respect for others. We have a determined focus on developing thinking skills and teaching your child to develop into independent, responsible learners.

    I have a simple but highly effective approach, for pupils and staff: be here and when you are here do a good job, high attendance, punctuality and positive attitude is rewarded. This provides a powerful and happy team and also a happy and powerful school.
    It is proven that schools do best when parents and school work as a partnership, promoting the same values and sharing your child’s progress and next steps to maximise progress.
    We look forward to a happy and successful relationship!
    Thank you in advance for your support
