Firbeck Academy became part of the Nova Education Trust in 2017. We are a one form entry mixed non-denominational foundation unit and primary school for children in the Wollaton, Bilborough and neighbouring areas.

Firbeck Academy promotes British values through: a school council whose members are actively involved in the democratic process; a geography curriculum that covers global citizenship; a religious education curriculum that teaches about the shared values that religion can promote.

We also believe that we can best achieve the highest possible outcomes our pupils by working closely with parents and carers. The school doesn’t work in isolation and encourages all parents to take an active part in the education of their children. The partnership between school staff, parents, governors and other stakeholders is an essential and a valued one.

We are very proud of our school. Firbeck is a special place where we seek to meet the best interests of the individual children in our care.

By providing a caring ethos within a wide range of learning opportunities, staff aim to enthuse children to enjoy learning whilst developing the skills which will support them in growing up to be caring, independent, responsible people and lifelong learners.

This is expressed in our ambition to:

‘Work Hard and Be Kind’
