The Joyce Frankland Academy Vision

Founded with the vision of the ‘love I bear learning’, we recognise Joyce Frankland’s original purpose, that our school should be a place where all of us take pleasure in learning both now and in the future. We strive to ensure our curriculum is as broad as possible, providing our young people with as many opportunities as possible. Whether that be to join one of our many sports teams and represent the school, participate in our annual school theatre production or learn a new musical instrument, we want to support our students to find the inspiration to succeed. We also recognise Dame Joyce Frankland’s wider vision, ensuring that every member of the community is given opportunities to explore through learning, fulfil their potential and flourish in their futures.

Since 1588, the school has been a single-sex grammar, a mixed gender grammar, mixed gender comprehensive and, finally, in 2012, a single-trust academy. In January 2020, the Academy joined Anglian Learning trust, based in South Cambridgeshire, which is currently made up of a family of 18 schools across the region.

At Joyce Frankland Academy, Newport, we believe everyone belongs. Guided by our core values of Aspiration, Respect and Responsibility, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every young person is known, valued and empowered to succeed. We work to understand each student’s unique strengths and needs, enabling them to access the curriculum, achieve their goals and pursue their aspirations with confidence. We celebrate achievement in all its forms, academic, creative, personal and social, and recognise the many ways our students grow and contribute to our community. In partnership with families and the wider community, we continue to nurture a culture where every child thrives, honouring Dame Joyce Frankland’s legacy by inspiring learners to shape a better future and make a positive difference in the world.
