Doors open with a kindergarten and the first primary classes.
Our school
About Northfield Academy
A K-12 school built around one idea: that every child should be known.
What we are here to do
A great school is measured by who its students become, not only by the grades they earn. Northfield Academy exists to give every child a rigorous education, a caring community and the confidence to take their next step — wherever it leads.
We follow the national curriculum in full, and we add what makes the real difference: small classes, early language learning, hands-on science, and support that is part of the school day rather than an extra.
What we believe
High expectations
We ask a lot of our students, and give them the support to meet it.
Every child known
No child is anonymous. Families meet their child's teachers throughout the year.
Character matters
Kindness, honesty and effort are taught and celebrated alongside results.
Open to the world
Languages, exchanges and service projects connect students with a wider world.
