Welcome
Welcome to South Nottinghamshire Academy – a vibrant and thriving school at the heart of the communities of Radcliffe on Trent, Cotgrave and Shelford.
Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make on their behalf. We believe that all students have a right to attend a school that is ambitious for them and will strive to ensure they achieve the very best that they can. Our ethos is built around ‘Pushing our boundaries to achieve more’ which is underpinned with the highest expectations of what each student is capable of achieving.
In 2023, SNA students once again secured some spectacular outcomes. Our Progress 8 score was securely positive which means that every student achieved stronger outcomes than comparable students at similar schools. At A Level, our results were equally impressive with students gaining their preferred choices in education, employment or training – including those who secured places at either the University of Cambridge or Oxford.
We passionately believe that in order for students to reach their academic potential, they must experience the highest levels of individual care, guidance and support.

Within a welcoming and supportive environment, we provide a stimulating and engaging education where all students can flourish and succeed.
In September 2016, we moved into our brand-new school building and at the same time, we joined Redhill Academy Trust. In partnership, we have a passion to continually support and drive school improvement.
In January 2023, to ensure we can continue to accommodate the increasing need for school places in our catchment, we moved into our new £2.65 million extension. Alongside other facility developments, including a new 3G floodlit pitch (September 2022), our school community has long-lasting, modern day facilities that enhance students’ educational experience. And in March 2022, Ofsted Inspectors visited us and confirmed that the school remains at least 'Good' in all areas of inspection - and we have improved significantly since this point.

We pride ourselves on our knowledge of every single student and ensuring that students are challenged in their learning but enjoy and feel safe as part of our school community. To see for yourself what the Academy can offer your child, please come to one of our Open Days or make an appointment to visit us at a convenient time.
We have a school to be proud of and, for everyone involved with South Nottinghamshire Academy, a very exciting future lies ahead.
