It is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to you from Noel-Baker Academy. I feel incredibly privileged as Headteacher to represent the incredible work undertaken by my staff in nurturing and developing the ambitions and interests of the children of our community. At Noel- Baker, I truly believe that every child is encouraged to be extraordinary.
My staff and I are dedicated to fostering an environment of excellence and high aspirations. Our mission is to ensure that each student is provided with the opportunities and support necessary to fulfil their individual potential. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of education, nurturing a culture of ambition, and instilling a lifelong love of learning.
Every member of our school community, is challenged daily to be the best version of ourselves – be that through our conduct, our endeavour or our personal resilience. Success rarely comes easily, and the most worthwhile achievements are earned through hard work and dedication. That is not to say that learning should not be fun, and we aim to encourage intellectual curiosity by delivering a rigorous and enriching curriculum. We set high expectations for all our students, encouraging them to strive for excellence in all that they do.
Our core values of Lead, Empower, Achieve, and Drive underpin our focus upon developing well rounded and successful young people. Through our curriculum and wide extra-curricular offer, we aim to build character, and I am proud to lead a school in which integrity, empathy and social justice are as highly prized as academic outcomes.
We recognise that the partnership between home and school is fundamental to the success of our students. We value open communication and collaboration with parents and guardians, and we are eager to work together to support your child’s educational journey. When trusted adults show genuine interest in a child’s ambitions, interests and achievements they attend more frequently, they progress more rapidly, and they thrive in school. Parental involvement and encouragement are vital in helping us achieve our shared goal of providing the very best educational experience for all our children.
If you want to find out more about what we do at Noel-Baker, I encourage you invest a little time to explore our website and see a small portion of the incredible achievements of our wonderful students. Hopefully, you will gleam a little of what makes our school so special.
Esse extraordinarium!
Paul Greenough – Headteacher

🍎Unmissable Teachers & the Power of Showing Up
Every day at school is filled with unmissable moments — and at the heart of it all are the teachers who make it happen. 💫
They’re the encouragers, the motivators, the listeners, and the guides — real-life superheroes who are always right by your side. 🦸♀️🦸♂️
Because without teachers, there’s no learning…
Without students, there’s no class…
And without both, it’s unthinkable. 💛
So keep showing up, keep connecting, and keep learning — because school means more when we’re all in it together. 🎓✨

In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
