Welcome to Nova Hreod Academy

Our motto is ‘high achievement and high standards’ and excellence is at the very heart of what we do. We are a school where we expect very high standards in terms of punctuality, attendance, behaviour, uniform, manners, courtesy and respect.

Nova has a reputation for being a school where pupils are smart, polite and hardworking. High expectations in the classroom make it possible for all pupils to make the most of their learning, to study and maximize their potential. A strong set of extra curricular clubs and opportunities helps students to explore their broader interests and we actively encourage participation at all levels.

We not only expect the 'best from everyone’, we also expect ‘academic excellence’ from everyone. We recruit top quality teachers with the knowledge and expertise to help students achieve their very best. In 2016, Nova Hreod Academy was the most improved school in Swindon and one of the three most improved schools in the South West Region. In February 2017, the school achieved a 'Good' grading from Ofsted for the first time in its history.

We warmly invite you to tour our fantastic school at any time to view the wonderful experience our students enjoy on a day to day basis.
