Serlby Park Academy provides an exciting opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding across both the primary and secondary phases. While our staff specialise in teaching in one phase, the opportunity to work together cross phase to develop and deliver an innovative and cohesive education from when they join the academy aged 3, is something we are passionate about. We feel strongly that our setting can provide our students with the best outcomes, opportunities and experiences. We serve the villages of Harworth and Bircotes as well as some of the surrounding villages and our academy has a diverse catchment and strong community feel. We are very proud of the achievements of our students at all phases. Last year, Progress outcomes were well above average with Y6 pupils attaining 5.4 in Reading, 2 in Writing and 5 in Maths and our Y11 Progress 8 score was 0.27. This once again placed us in the top 3 academies in Bassetlaw based on pupil progress.
