Following good results and a noticeable transformation, improvements to Outwood Academy Newbold were proudly shown to Chesterfield MP Toby Perkins, by Principal Steve Roberts.

Improvements in the school have already generated successes and an increasing interest in places for students and parents hoping to join the academy. Now the school are looking to consolidate these improvements and increase the number of 6th form students and subjects.

Toby said “I am pleased that many more pupils at Outwood Academy Newbold are performing well and it was reassuring to hear about the aspirations and belief in the school from the leadership team. The pupils, teachers and staff I met were very positive and the work I saw was incredibly impressive. I visited several classes, including maths, English and science and I was fortunate to be shown a very moving and impromptu performance from some Drama students, who were fantastic.”

Principal Steve Roberts said about the visit “It was a privilege to be able to take Toby Perkins MP on a tour of the academy and more importantly give him the opportunity to see our wonderful students and amazing staff at work. We are very proud of our transformation over the last few years and would like to thank our entire community for their support”.

Latest reports show that 59% of Newbold students achieved grade 5+ in English and Maths, which is an increase of 10% on last year and three quarters of all students achieved grade 4+ in the same subjects. The school has also boasted increases in students achieving top grades in A level results, with 18% gaining A*-A and the number of students with AAB or above has risen 11% since last year.
