More information from the Principal

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to Joyce Frankland Academy, Newport. Our academy is a community focused school, rooted in a rich and inspiring history. The school was founded in 1588 by Dame Joyce Frankland, a visionary whose love for learning continues to shape our culture today. Her words, “the love I bear learning,” remain at the heart of our mission, reminding us that education is not only about achievement but also about nurturing curiosity, character, and lifelong growth.

Our school is built on the values of Aspiration, Respect, and Responsibility. These values guide everything we do. We believe that every young person deserves to be known, valued, and to achieve success. That’s why we work tirelessly to understand each student’s unique strengths and areas for development, helping them to unlock their potential and pursue their dreams and aspirations with confidence.

We are proud of our culture that celebrates achievement in all its forms—academic, creative, personal, and social. Whether it’s through academic outcomes, acts of kindness, leadership in the community, or resilience in the face of challenge, we recognise and honour the many ways our students develop and succeed.

We work in partnership with our families and wider community to continue building a school where every child thrives. Together, we ensure that Dame Joyce Frankland’s legacy lives on, inspiring generations to come with a love of learning and a belief in their ability to shape a better future and make a difference in the world.
